Thanks for the info, but the overhead I am curious about is that caused
by the file system searching that must be done in order to traverse the
directory tree and locate the application.cfm file.

Thanks,

Kevin

The existence of the file, itself, is nothing.  It's like a millionth
of a second or so.  But what's IN the file, now that's where the lag
could occur.  The possibilities are endless here.

I would recommend for a large site that you look into the Fusebox
methodology.  You can separate out local variables (within the sub apps)
from global variables (which you store in a app_globals file) so that
you only create overhead for the applicable section and not the entire
application.
