Problem Description:

With trusted cache enabled, one would expect it to not stress the disk io as much but CPU snapshot in VisualVM tells us that if cfinterface is used, or if a cfc extends another cfc, or invokes getMetaData(), CF will always invoke coldfusion.runtime.TemplateClassLoader.getLastModifiedTime() which in turns call java.io.File.lastModified() which slows down the server a lot, even on SSD.

Any Workarounds:

Avoid cfinterface, extends and getMetaData() as much as possible for performance, or use ram disk?

Comments:

I've noticed this too a lot for years in active apps that use getMetaData() and interfaces (often time ColdBox). My expectation is that there should be zero disk access if trusted cache is turned on related to reading .cfc files.

Workaround, use getComponentMetaDate() if possible

What concerns me is use of extends causing the file system check when trusted cache is enabled. Developers should not avoid using extends in favor of performance, it should be resolved in the engine.

Earlier getMetaData call was not respecting the Trusted Cache check. Fixed it. @QE: please verify.

Thx. Can you confirm that cfinterface/"implements" and "extends" is also fixed with this?

Bradley, With the fix, I don't see any calls to getLastModifiedTime() in the CPU profiler snapshots when using extended cfinterfaces as well.
