Todd, Would it be safe to say that the underlying code generated by a CFSCRIPT block on CFMX would be virutally the same as code compiled using tag syntax?

I would hestitate to say that cfscript block would bring you any performance gains under CFMX due to the compiling. Do your own speed test: test.cfm: <cfset begin = getTickCount()> <cfset finalIndx = 0> <cfloop index="indx" from="1" to="100" step="1"> <cfset finalIndx = incrementValue(finalIndx)> </cfloop> <cfset end = getTickCount()> <cfset total = end - begin> <cfoutput>#end# - #begin# = #total#</cfoutput> test1.cfm: <cfscript> begin = getTickCount(); finalIndx = 0; for(indx=1;indx LTE 100; indx=indx+1){ finalIndx = incrementValue(finalIndx); } end = getTickCount(); total = end - begin; writeoutput(end & "-" & begin & "=" & end); </cfscript> test.cfm results: 2107909460 - 2107909460 = 0 test1.cfm results: 2107965773-2107965773=0 Not that this is an accurate test, but ... where's the gain in cfscript? In the above case, you'll see that the regular <tags> were somewhat faster than the cfscript block. ~Todd On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Pete Ruckelshaus wrote: > Personally, I prefer using CFScript over "regular" CF when I can use it. > First, it's much easier to set a bunch of variables inside a CFScript block > (IMO).
