Faster for variable assignment but slower when looping so I am led to
believe.

Yes. :)
I can't remember exactly where I saw the article (I could've sworn it was in
Fusion Authority WNA somewhere, but I couldn't find it this morning), but if
I recall correctly, CFScript was faster from a performance standpoint if you
were evaluating more than one or two variables in a row using the CFSet
method:
<cfSet fred='barney'>
<cfSet foo='bar'>
<cfSet gargle='blaster'>
... was said to be slower than:
<cfScript>
foo='bar';
fred='barney';
gargle='blaster'
</cfScript>
...and so on and so forth. I use it for as much procedural code as I can;
it's got all the looping functions, case/switch functionality, and (to the
eye of this long-time Perl junkie), it's a lot cleaner. :)
HTH. HAND.
