If you use <cfinclude> on a CFM the contents of the file will be processed and rendered by the CF engine rather than being read straight in. For instance, if your included page had the following information: <cfoutput> <cfloop from="1" to="5" index="I"> #i# </cfloop> </cfoutput>
Your <cfsavecontent> variable would contain the numbers 1 through 10. If you did <cffile> you would get the literal text contained in the file (the code itself).

So are there real benefits to use cfsavecontent over cffile? I heard that cffile is slower than cfsavecontent. Is that the only reason?
