The use of WDDX was not a performance related one as obviously WDDX doesn't perform that well. We used WDDX as a way of marshalling data between the presentation and business tiers as well as marshalling data between CF and a variety of other programming languages. Quite simply, the use of WDDX was an architectural decision that had serious performance implications that we had to work around.
Personally, I have always thought the WDDX Java library sucked and as such have maintained a private fork of the code. I don't know if the CFMX WDDX implementation makes use of the Java classes found at http://www.openwddx.org, but I certainly have need to modify those classes for my use. I am currently looking into using JAXB to replace the WDDX serializer and deserializer classes.
