I believe you'll find the performance is different in CFMX, specifically
with the  will no longer be trailing far behind . And even more importantly even less performance variation.

However, I do agree with Dave, the differences are fairly marginal and there
are better ways to optimize your code :)

I'll start this by saying that I have no idea which is faster in CFMX.
However, I don't think it matters at all. These sorts of optimization
guidelines/tests have several serious problems - they don't account for
changes between versions, the tests themselves aren't reflective of actual
usage patterns in real life (simple iteration tests work fine to measure a
single-user environment; load tests are required to measure a multi-user
environment), and, most damning in my eyes, the differences are usually
insignificant anyway. I would recommend that you take a long, hard look at
caching and other methods for doing work before runtime, instead of worrying
about how to optimize a CFIF.

But that's just my opinion.

As a side note.  I would like to see the new web design that sys-con.com web
master told me was coming 6 months ago.  One that would allow better
searching.  For a cold fusion magazine their site sure does have issues.

But enough rant.

As the article was written as an extension or rebuttal of my own, I think that
I'll have to check out any differences in CFMX. I'll post up results as soon as
I get them.

Best Practices for CFIF

2003-06-28 Thread Rich Z
I was wondering if anyone has bothered to look at best practices CFIF
statements. I've been following the guidelines in this article in CFDJ
by Tom Nunamaker:
 
http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/articleprint.cfm?id=533
 
I then realized that the article was written against CF5. Does anyone
know if these same suggestions apply to CFMX? 
 
Thanks,
Rich
