Yes, this is true. Seens to me that bad code runs faster on CF5 and good code runs faster on CFMX... The question is: what is bad code and good code in this new CFML horizon? I'm not a hardcore programmer but even form me, CFML is not a "programming language" status quo. Pure CF programmers are now being "forced" to know a little of Java, to take care of a lot of new things (such as text encoding, data types and stuff) that is suppressed by the easy of CF5 and previous versions. Well, this can be a good thing (at least I agree myself) but it also is a bad thing because CFML becames more complicated and loose it's most important feature: simplicity. Maybe, in a future, the price for maintaining this easy can turn into a barrier to the performance and other things that are not present in other server-side languages, such as JSP and ASP. Is Java ready for CFMX and CFMX is ready for Java? Huh... To be or not to be.
I think, for now, we should keep talking about it and share observations in terms of coding and application, not only architecture and server features... To start with it I can say that I'm 99% convinced that FuseBox applications (a very high acceptable concept in "making good CF code") runs pretty much slower under CFMX than in CF5. Maybe it's time to forget about FuseBox architeture and jump into CFC's, maybe not? Helms, Fusebox will "survive" CFMX? Well, lots of things but it's been nice walk through this unexplored field.
