Only the functions you explicitly call are executed. Creating an object is
copying and instance of that component to memory. This is useful for
maintaining the object's state. When I write CFCs that are actually
intended for use as objects and aren't simply collections of functions, I
create an init() function and call that when creating an object. Using
CreateObject() instead of <cfobject> makes it easy to call the init in one
line. To extend your example, I'd do it this way:
<cfset reviews = CreateObject("component",
"#application.cfcpath#reviews").init()>
<cfset qGetTopTenTitle = reviews.getTopTenTitle(url.Campus)>
