ColdFusion 11 cfflush not working

There is a configuration setting that is necessary for the <cfflush> tag to work properly with the web server. On the Configuring web servers in Windows documentation page, under the Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows section, among other things it states:

To disable webserver buffer, change the is_buffer_enable [sic] to false in the cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.properties file. Disable webserver buffer if you want cfflush to work over an IIS connector. If your application does not use cfflush, set it to true for increase in the performance.

Note that there is a typo in the Adobe documentation that I referenced above. It should state iis_buffer_enable, not is_buffer_enable (missing an 'i'). Thanks to KrunchMuffin for pointing that out.
You will need to restart IIS for this change to take affect.
I'm not sure what the performance ramifications are of disabling this setting. You will need to do some load testing for your particular environment to see.
