When you post a question to a high volume mailinglist, you make sure that the next few hours you are available to provide follow-up. You don't go off and do something else while other people work on your problem. It is a simple matter of mailinglist etiquette. > Anyway - I have got to the bottom of things - it was the fact that I > had debug turned on (although suppressed) that made the difference to > the execution times.

First, you need to run many more iterations, these timings are well within the range where the resolution of getTickCount() has nasty side-effects. Second, the following code has a problem: <cfset testString = testString & " and another thing"> With each iteration the string will get longer and the append operation will start to dominate your execution time. You are not measuring the time it takes to call a CFC versus the time it takes to call a customtag, but you are measuring some large append and a little bit off noise. So you need to reset testString every X iterations or even better, make a no-op from this append. Third, if you are using types in your cfarguments, the CFC is doing more then the other versions because it does type checking. You would need an IsSimpleValue() call in all the other code to emulate this (CF doesn't have an IsString()), or remove the types in your cfarguments. You will see some very different timings if you do this. Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
