I don't know that including UDFs slows anything down. I used to have this site with probably over 50 on some pages with no slowdown whatsoever. However, if you want to speed it up even more, after all cf still has to load and instantiate every function you write as a separate object, then put your UDFs in a CFC and instantiate the CFC into your application scope.
Ba-da-bing, any slowdowns from too many UDFs on a page have to be history. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 10/14/05, Johnny Le <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How's about UDFs?
