But processors and memory are much cheaper than programmers. Debugging code is expensive. Bugs in production code are *very* expensive. It doesn' t matter how fast your code runs if it does the wrong thing! > I guess I just hoped there would be some Holy Grail of a site that I would > go to, and as the page loaded angelic music would start playing as I was > bathed in warm brilliant light and all of the intricacies of CF coding > were > made readily apparent to me :) Nope. And whilst my kind of 'best practices' (focused on maintainability) pretty much stay the same across CF versions, your kind (focused on performance) change with every version. The #1 rule of optimization is to only optimize when you know you have a problem and have isolated what that problem is!
