Sorry forgot to answer about performance. I have done any testing to see what the difference in performance would be between outputting HTML directly or using cfsavecontent. However, it is quite obvious using cfsavecontent has more overhead because you now have two cfoutput calls instead of one as well as wrapping one of those calls inside a custom tag.
