There is some overhead for making a custom tag call, so if you have recursion (or iteration) across a call, you'll have to pay that overhead each time. I'd say it's nothing to worry about until you notice it as a problem when you're doing load testing.
If you're running on CFMX, however, I'd look into wrapping the functionality in a CFC or UDF instead of a custom tag though. Functions are better suited to recusion, if you ask me, and they're probably a bit more performant, but that's just a guess. cheers, barneyb On 1/18/06, Ian Skinner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just curious, is there a significant (aka quite noticeable) performance hit > when using recursive custom tags?
