Background: CFMX 7.0.2 on a W2003 (SP2) box using IIS 6.0 and
Active Directory.
Attempting to use <cfdocument> to produce PDF output. I was originally producing a rather complex HTML page with multi-nested tables, stylesheet, a couple of tiny GIF files and ran into performance problems when I moved it off the development box (W2K, IIS 5, no domains) to the production type environment (described above). The thing was performing very poorly. The PDFs were being produced in 8 - 10 seconds on dev box but were taking 3-10 minutes on the prod type box! Have tried with recent versions MSIE and Firefox 2 with same, miserable performance.
So, one by one, I eliminated various "complexities". Got rid of graphics, got rid of style sheet, moved from HTTPS to HTTP, got rid of most HTML. The HTML file now contains a table with one column and the same text repeated over and over, no style sheet, no images and it's running from HTTP. I.e., it's "trivial" and should not be a problem...but it's still taking forever for the PDF version to load.
I've also used the task manager to try to see if certain processes are pegging the server. Didn't see anything suspicious. I also looked in error log and runtime logs for clues...didn't see anything there either.
What have I overlooked?
