I can attest to that statement. We had a custom tag that used those three
functions HEAVILY - iif, de, and evaluate. It was very very very very slow.
Unfortunately for us, it is the core of our application - so it was
rewritten as a CFX, then a COM component, and not it is a hybrid COM/XML
thing.
So, um, yeah, that stuff is slow - beware.
