Speed isn't everything, it's the only thing. Seriously though, what I would like to see is a time difference with 3 algorithms that do the exact same thing. 1 done in CFC, one done in UDF, and one done in inline code. If UDF and CFC execute the same, I can handle that, BUT if CFC is slower than UDF I must ask why.

However, remember that the point here is encapsulation. By having your 'isDupe' method stored in one central location, you can easily update the code w/o worrying about other templates that may have had their own versions. You could also add security. I won't go on - I love CFCs and it's obvious. The point remains the same. The _fastest_ code will almost always be inline code. However, speed isn't everything. -ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
