Lets also keep in mind that a site that runs a poll to include CF that no
where do I see has any CF info, help, or any mention except in a poll, how
can you say that it is a valid poll without the proper exposure. Let
Macromedia, a site of signifcant traffic from all types of developers (and a
site that does not compete with several hundred other sites offering the
same info), run this poll and lets get a true representation of the web
community!!!

I know what CGI is and I also know that they are inherently slower because
the Web Server needs to spawn a new process each time the CGI is called
whereas an ISAPI app (or app server like CF) does not require this.
