I've
built some substantially huge CF sites, and using <cfmodule> instead of
<cfinclude> wherever you can is critical. Execution time is probably
not the key issue, really, it's development time. If you can build the
site more reliably, faster, and cheaper, a half millisecond per page is
irrelevant. I've spent a huge amount of time converting an old
side-effect-riddled cfinclude-style site to cfmodule, and it's paying dividends
every time we do it.
I
wouldn't advise going crazy with full-on custom tag madness. In
particular, hosting sites that rely on first-class custom tags (as opposed to
cfmodule) can be difficult.
For
small enough sites, this kind of thing might not be a consideration, but if
you're looking at over a hundred .cfm files, cfmodule will save your
sanity.

Subject: [KCFusion] include vs custom tagWe're still using cf 4.5 sp2. We're currently having a disagreement about whether to define our new framework for a site based on custom tags for each page basically, or the same thing using includes instead. I personally think the custom tags are a complete necessity, because of variable scoping, but I need to know the true benchmarking difference that people have seen when using one vs the other, or just in a per call difference in milliseconds per call, if anyone happens to know it or can point me to somewhere with the stats.
