1. You should lock the entire group with a CFLOCK and a scope of application. 2. An IsDefined() with a set is actually slightly faster than a CFAPPLICATION. There's even a UDF that does just this and its still faster even with the small UDF overhead. Note that this is limited to the isdefined() then default. When you start doing the other things that a CFPARAM is useful for then the balance changes.
