It's all logic. Lets look at it below: <CFIF name IS "michael"> This will evaluate the variable name and compare it to the text michael. Lets expand it: <CFIF name IS "michael"> <CFELSEIF name IS "Judith"> We're doing one evaluation of the variable name for the first CFIF and then another for the CFELSEIF. That's 2 evaluations of the same variable. With more CFELSEIFs of the same type, it becomes more evaluations of the same thing. A CFSWITCH on the other hand evaluates the variable once. It then takes that value and compares it to a hash table (lookup table) to see which CFCASE statement it will fit into. Just the single lookup is enough to save processing.
