It won't make any significant difference. The bottleneck that may occur in
CF is that there is a limited number of threads to process requests. It
doesn't matter if all those threads use the same file or not, whether the
file is cached by CF or not. In any case, by default CF caches its scripts
in memory after they've been parsed, so once that's happened, there won't be
any significant file access.
