Ben Forta has this info on his site. It's in a PowerPoint presentation, so I don't have a direct link.
Go to www.forta.com....clikc ColdFusion.....clikc on CF resources.....go to bottom of page (or close to bottom) and look for Tips and Tricks from the CF Masters (or something like that)....then select the CFLOOP Vs CFOUTPUT in the left frame (also look at the section about not overdoing CFOUTPUT) Once again a great resource from Ben ;-) Bryan Stevenson VP & Director of E-Commerce Development Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. p. 250.920.8830 e.
