I'd imagine that CFFILE has to read the entire file from the file system
every time, while CFHTTP can make use of optimizations at the web server
level.  So if you have a good web server, it makes sense that it might be
faster.  Of course, using CFHTTP requires that your file be web accessible,
which isn't always desirable.

  Oddly enough, sometimes it is, when used to fetch a file from the local
  machine. I was very surprised by that myself, as it strikes me as
  counterintuitive, to say the least.
