So their assessment could be correct that the built in scopes don't have the same indexing and may not be as efficient... I'd bet the CF engineers used similar indexing code in both the coldfusion.filter.XScope and in coldfusion.util.FastHashtable. I've not done any performance tests to compare the two, but I wouldn't expect much variation between them in that regard.
