Just a fast question about components and memory so that I can be extra exact for a chapter I'm writing on components.
When the cfinvoke tag is used with a component name, the component is instantiated and a method of the component is run. In most cases, there is no reference to the component returned. In other words, it's 'gone'. Is any of the memory used by the template request freed up at the time? If another cfinvoke tag is run, will it use the allocated memory that was used by the previous cfinvoke tag or will it take more memory for the request. Basically, if I have 20 cfinvokes running in a request, will it's memory usage grow for each invoke or will the memory be stable (assuming all of the invokes use the same amount of memory)? If the memory used by a cfinvoke is freed up to be used by other variables or cfinvokes, what about component references that are killed. In other words, if I use cfobject to create a variable containing a reference to a component, will overwriting that variable free up that memory for other us during the template run or is that memory no longer usable with the component still existing in memory but no longer accessible? Yes, strange and probably useless questions, but...
