I wonder about that. <cfparam has to check for the existance of a variable,
then sets it if it is not there, <cfset just plain sets it.
If we are talking template level variables then the <cfset is obviously
faster but at the application or server level scopes then which is faster a
check or a set? First time round the variable has to be set, but after that?
