ColdFusion 8, 9 and Railo Object creation speed test

While reading Kevan Stannard's article on ColdFusion 9 object creation improvements post I was curious as too how Railo would stand up on the exact same test. The results are interesting:

( Seconds to create 100k objects and Objects created per second )

ColdFusion 8:



ColdFusion 9:



Railo 3.1.0.22:

OpenBD:


I could not achieve the figures Kevan achived perhaps an environment difference?

My setup is ColdFusion 8 and 9 are 64 bit on Windows 7 dev editions with 512mb ram assign in CFadmin. Railo was just Railo express. This is on my main work machine ( Dell XPS 1530 4g ram Windows 7 64bit ).

Now the interesting thing to note is that CF8 and 9 took well over 500mb of ram in task manager and Railo express was less then 100mb.

I'm not knocking CF9 as we haven't had any big issues even with 8 with our applications but I thought the results were interesting enough to share.

And yes we will be upgrading to CF9 and I can't wait!

PS someone with OpenBD should run this perhaps later tonight I'll install the express version and run the same test.

** Update I used the stable version on OpenBD ready to run on the same system and got excellent results.

PPS Do not laugh at me using IE it just had the least amount of addins and I used it so the screen shots would be cleaner.

Code:
test.cfc
<br /><cfcomponent output="false"><br /> <cffunction name="init" output="false"><br /> <cfreturn><br /> </cffunction><br /></cfcomponent><br />

speed.cfm
<br /><cfscript> <br /> numObjects = 100000; <br /> start = getTickCount(); <br /> for (i=0; i<numObjects; i++) { <br /> createObject("component","test").init(); <br /> } <br /> end = getTickCount(); <br /> seconds = (end - start) / 1000; <br /> objectsPerSecond = numObjects / seconds; <br /> writeOutput(seconds); <br /> writeOutput("< br />"); <br /> writeOutput(objectsPerSecond); <br /> writeOutput("< br />"); <br /></cfscript> <br />
