Hi, Have you given a thought of using <cfsavecontent> instead?

Here is an example: <cf_pageBody> . lots of generated html code (worst case: say an online report: 1-2 MB) .. </cf_pageBody> Will ColdFusion save this very big string chunk into a new variable "ThisTag.GeneratedContent" for use in the custom tag? If so, is this a big hit on performance and memory? (think in terms of traffic / site load). OR: is the ColdFusion engine doing some trick by placing pointers around some output stack (in order to save on performance/memory) Next, does it make a difference if I don't reference the ThisTag.GeneratedContent inside my custom tag? (in other words, I just let coldfusion automatically dump the generated content out.) Basically, my tag would do the following: <cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode IS "START"> <body .> <!--- my body header ---> <cfelseif ThisTag.ExecutionMode IS "END"> <!--- coldfusion automatically dumps generated content ---> <!--- my body footer ---> </body> </cfif> . would the above avoid a performance/memory hit? or will any ThisTag.GeneratedContent performance hit be incurred even if its not referenced? .. basically, because some blocks would contain large html files (online reports), I wanted to know if ThisTag.GeneratedContent would slow things down, especially with increasing traffic/load. To get around any performance hit, there would be two alternate solutions: (1) <cf_pageBody_start> . my html body . <cf_pageBody_end> (2) <body> <cfinclude = "body_header.cfm"> . my html body . <cfinclude = "body_header.cfm"> </body> . I would much prefer using <cf_pageBody></cfpageBody> if the performance hit is negligible. Thank you for reading this long post!! Any insights are greatly appreciated!
