Editorial Rebuttal
I'm always amused to see that ColdFusion is viewed as "the one to beat," and that when anyone does an "independent" evaluation, it always comes up on the losing side. It's also interesting to note that all these "independent" evaluations are done at the request of the "winning product," and in no case is anyone from Allaire or the ColdFusion community consulted on the tests.
A rebuttal from another ColdFusion developer has stated that the testing facility was one of high repute. I personally still don't believe that that says that they know ColdFusion code or know how to write proper code. Bad code can make a product look bad.
