I do strongly belive using the IIF right wouldnt be any slower than CFIF as
well
Eg.. The right usage
<cfloop index="x" from="1" to="10">
#x#.#IIF(x mod 2,"'odd'","'even'")#<br>
</cfloop>
Improper usage which is any day going to be slower than CFIF
<cfloop index="x" from="1" to="10">
#x#.#IIF(x mod 2,DE("odd"),DE("even")#<br>
</cfloop>

Actually, the main problem with using IIF() now is that few people know how
to use it right. The double evaluation issue, using DE vs. double quoting,
etc. I'm going to have to revise my paper on it and get it out there again.

no difference speed wise between IIF and CFIF. Counting on the run, you can
see the numbers change in the .001 millisecond range which is nothing at
all, especially as the numbers change for both and there is no clear
pattern.
