In theory, yes, as ColdFusion will have to hunt through the various scopes to find the exact variable that you're referencing.
Whether it's noticeable or not.. hard to say. >From the CF8 docs ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Variables_32.html ): "Because ColdFusion must search for variables when you do not specify the scope, you can improve performance by specifying the scope for all variables." I do actually recall hearing that on Railo, it was faster to -not- scope local variables. Not sure if that still holds true or not.
