It will probably be slightly faster to just specify your three scripts instead of using Fusebox. However, the difference will probably be so small as to be completely insignificant. CFINCLUDEs are relatively inexpensive operations, once all the scripts have been cached in memory. In any case, that's not really the right question to ask. Any code reuse/maintenance methodology, properly implemented, will perform less well than the alternative of not using that methodology, all other things being equal. When you get right down to it, you'd get better performance writing ISAPI filters to do everything, instead of using CF at all. The right question, in my opinion, would be "Does the maintenance benefit of using this methodology outweigh the performance cost?" Not being a big fan of Fusebox myself for the types of applications Fig Leaf does, I'd say no. But that's because my development and maintenance goals don't match with those of Fusebox, not because I think it's "slow". If my goals and Fusebox's goals overlapped more, then I'd use it.
