If the reason you are looking at <CFSCRIPT> is performance then don't
bother. Sure you may find subtle differences, but honestly, in the grand
scheme of things it has little impact. Here is some test code I just
wrote, copy and paste it in CFMX and try it - it just does a bunch of
loops and sets in both CFML and <CFSCRIPT> and graphs the results (it
repeats the tests to account for inconsistent highs and lows). You
should see that the difference is really not significant anymore (in
CFMX).
--- Ben
<!--- Set vars --->
<CFSET tests=20>
<CFSET loops=10000>
<!--- Create query to save results --->
<CFSET q=QueryNew("cfml,cfscript")>
<!--- Loop through tests --->
<CFLOOP INDEX="t" FROM="1" TO="#tests#">
<!--- Time CFML loop and sets --->
<CFSET l=GetTickCount()>
<CFLOOP INDEX="i" FROM="1" TO="#loops#">
<CFSET x=i>
</CFLOOP>
<CFSET l1=GetTickCount()-l>
<!--- Time CFSCRIPT loop and sets --->
<CFSET l=GetTickCount()>
<CFSCRIPT>
for (i=1; i LTE loops; i = i +1)
{
x=i;
}
</CFSCRIPT>
<CFSET l2=GetTickCount()-l>
<!--- Add this test to the query --->
<CFSET QueryAddRow(q)>
<CFSET QuerySetCell(q, "cfml", l1)>
<CFSET QuerySetCell(q, "cfscript", l2)>
</CFLOOP>
<!--- Now graph the results --->
<CFCHART CHARTHEIGHT="200" CHARTWIDTH="500" SHOWLEGEND="yes">
<CFCHARTSERIES TYPE="line" SERIESLABEL="CFML">
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="q">
<CFCHARTDATA ITEM="#CurrentRow#" VALUE="#cfml#">
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFCHARTSERIES>
<CFCHARTSERIES TYPE="line" SERIESLABEL="CFSCRIPT">
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="q">
<CFCHARTDATA ITEM="#CurrentRow#" VALUE="#cfscript#">
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFCHARTSERIES>
</CFCHART>

now I am asking all of these questions, is cfscript really that good to
use? or could I go all day long using cftags and never see much
performance difference....

Email me off list with what you want added to this doc and you'll have
your 10 minute reference. http://www.houseoffusion.com/docs/cfscript.htm
I know I need to put in the UDF portion (separate file now) and update
it to CFMX. What else would you like? Email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the answer to that.
