But you would still have one CFC that would be using only cfreturn, whereas another CFC would handle taking the result and displaying it, correct? In that regards, you would (or could have) built the lower CFC in such a way so that it would not only work with the higher CFC caller, but also a flash or WS caller. Again, I'm just saying that it _may_ be best to plan for the future and _default_ to not outputting directly, that way if you do change your mind later, you aren't going to have to recode a bunch of crap. Also, I have not seen the speed differences you mentioned earlier. What kind of #s are you seeing? (Rough is fine.)
