Maybe, maybe not. Yes there is some minor (very minor) overhead when instantiating an object and passing data (by reference) to it but not much more so than using a custom tag or UDF. If you know what your doing and cache the objects than this overhead is pretty much gone and all your left with is clean, organized code. The main drawback with OO is that people either don't know what they're doing or they are following it strictly to the OO letter rather than adapting the best of it to CF.
