There is a difference between performance and scalability and most
people are discussing performance, which is my point. If people would
attack scalability at an application level they would likely end up with
better performance than trying to optimize individual CF pages.

If the page in question was cached then it wouldn't matter what
technique you used. The idea is to attack scalability at a high level.
Code optimization is low level and takes significantly more time.
