Myth busting Boxlang benchmark claim

The Boxlang team posted this graphic today claiming BoxLang was the fastest

You’ll note they are comparing against Lucee 5 which struck me as a little bit odd, apparently there are compatibility issues with their test suite with Lucee 6, so they omitted Lucee 6.2 from the graphic!

Ortus has just confirmed on slack, that in their testing, Lucee 6.2 is indeed faster than BoxLang.

The Lucee team welcomes competition in the cfml engine performance space, I think this is a little misleading, hence my clarification here :slight_smile:

They are a company, out to make money, sad they have to use misleading ads.

From a pure marketing standpoint they should only compare themselves to AFC, I could write volumes upon this, but then I would want a hefty consulting fee :wink:
