We have a VERY high traffic website, and we're trying to speed up the pageload 
times a bit.  One of the things we're considering is going through some of the 
cfm files that are loaded on every request and trying to strip them down:

So for example, on the page that builds the <html> tag @ the top, we have:
--------------
<cfoutput><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head></cfoutput>
        <cfif request.showIntroAd>
                <cfoutput><meta http-equiv="refresh" 
content="#request.site.introAdDisplayTime#;http://#CGI.HTTP_HOST##request.loader.geturi(request.object.id,request.page)#<cfif
 CGI.query_string neq "">?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#</cfif>">
                </cfoutput>
        </cfif>
        <cfoutput><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1" />
        <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
        <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
        <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> 
        </cfoutput>
        <cfif (isDefined("request.isHomePage") AND request.isHomePage) or 
cgi.path_info eq "/">
                <!--- GOOGLE SPIDER ACTIVITY DIAGNOSTIC TAG --->
                <cfoutput><META name="verify-v1" 
content="rlf8D2GawTNaQTdKz2jo3t+cM5Bg+vVz3C7+uoCtYy4=" />
                </cfoutput>
        </cfif>

        <cfoutput>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/functions.js"></script>
        </cfoutput>
-------------------

Lots of white space in there.

On some other high traffic sites I see HTML compressed into a single line of 
code.  How can we do that reliably while still making the code readable by 
developers.

One thing we considered was to wrap blocks in cfsavecontent, and then use regex 
to strip out the tabs/linebreaks/etc, and save the blocks of code into the 
application scope.

We are already Gzipping files.
