time between tag and script based loops in CF. Would I be better off
(shorter execution time) writing a cfscript for a chunk of code that will
loop say 1000 times? Or is the difference too small to worry about.
It is good to know that they work differently under the hood.

Actually, it's both a very useful technique, and only a problem if you're
using CFLOOP. Say you want to remove duplicate elements from a list. If
you remove anything, you'll just get an "invalid list index" error, but if
you use CFSCRIPT you'll be just fine.
Here's code for the two different methods. The script call returns
"1,2,3,4,5", just as it's supposed to, but the tag call throws an "Invalid
list index 6." error.
<cfscript>
function dedupeListScript(list) {
var map = structNew();
var i = "";
for (i = 1; i LT listLen(list); i = i + 1) {
if (structKeyExists(map, listGetAt(list, i))) {
list = listDeleteAt(list, i);
i = i - 1;
} else {
map[listGetAt(list, i)] = "";
}
}
return list;
}
</cfscript>
<cffunction name="dedupeListTag">
<cfargument name="list" />
<cfset var map = structNew() />
<cfset var i = "" />
<cfloop from="1" to="#listLen(list)#" index="i">
<cfif structKeyExists(map, listGetAt(list, i))>
<cfset list = listDeleteAt(list, i) />
<cfset i = i - 1 />
<cfelse>
<cfset map[listGetAt(list, i)] = "" />
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn list />
</cffunction>
<cfset myList = "1,1,2,3,4,4,5" />
<cfoutput>#dedupeListScript(myList)#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#dedupeListTag(myList)#</cfoutput>
