My latest article on Building High Performance Applications with ColdFusion 9 and Ehcache 2.4 is out on DZone. In addition to covering basic caching concepts, the article also walks you through the process of updating the version of Ehcache that ships with Coldfusion from 2.0 to 2.4 as well as installing and configuring a Terracotta server for distributed caching.

Great article Rob.
What would you say the big features of 2.4 are over 2.0 that make it worth upgrading?

Sam,
Besides bug fixes from release to release, the Ehcache team does a lot of work to improve performance. 2.4 is significantly faster than 2.0.
As for features:
Cache Search (this is big), distributed transactions, and NonStopCache. I'll be talking about cache search, and possibly NonStopCache at cf.Objective.
