Request scope isn't well documented; it's a way of bypassing the variable
protection in custom tags. For instance, if you set request.myVar in
application.cfm, that variable will be available in all custom tags and
their child tags.
Jason, the answer is yes; that will increase performance. And if you're
using 4.5x, you should change from using name="Application" to
scope="Application".
