Funny thing is, even when I have specified scope for all my variables, I've still seen ColdFusion stack traces hunting around for scopes. However, please note this was a very intense script trying to calculate all prime numbers between 0 and 10,000,000. For the other 99.9999% of ColdFusion code out there, do what creates the most manageable, self-documenting code. The performance results will most likely be negligible.
