I'll start this by saying that I have no idea which is faster in CFMX. However, I don't think it matters at all. These sorts of optimization guidelines/tests have several serious problems - they don't account for changes between versions, the tests themselves aren't reflective of actual usage patterns in real life (simple iteration tests work fine to measure a single-user environment; load tests are required to measure a multi-user environment), and, most damning in my eyes, the differences are usually insignificant anyway. I would recommend that you take a long, hard look at caching and other methods for doing work before runtime, instead of worrying about how to optimize a CFIF. But that's just my opinion.
