What is the “Trusted Cache” option in the ColdFusion Administrator?
By default, when the CF Server runs a page for the first time, it reads the contents of the ASCII text and converts those contents to what is commonly referred to by Macromedia as “p-code”. This “p-code” can be thought of as a “native” version of the instruction set originally contained within the ASCII text. By default also, the CF Server caches this instruction set in memory. You can specify the size of the memory allotted for storing cached instruction sets in the CF Administrator. Now when the page, once cached, is subsequently executed again, the CF Server fetches the instruction set from the cache and executes that, skipping the original step of parsing the ASCII text. However, whatever instructions are contained within that set are reexecuted – database queries, HTML output generation, and so on. By default, before the cached instruction set is reexecuted, the CF Server checks the original ASCII file to see whether it has been changed since the instruction set was generated. Thi
