I don't see what the scale of the project has to do with whether the project
should be done right. You're not talking about optimization, but rather best
practices and application partitioning.

Unfortunately, not enough. Again, though, it's not a matter of optimization.
Data manipulation logic belongs in SQL. That's what SQL is for. Just like it
would usually be inappropriate to use SQL for presentation logic, it's
usually inappropriate to use CF for data manipulation logic.
