There are quite a few cases where there two versions produce wildly different results from the same code. I re-did one of my "Code Challenges" using CF 4.5 and MX (4.5 is slower than 5, but essentially the same architecture) here: http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/Challenge/Co mbineSortQuery/Solution-Intro.cfm But you can see that in some case speeds actually flip-flop - the fastest in the old (C++) codebase is the slowest in CFMX and the slowest in C++ is fastest in CFMX. I mean to go back and re-do all of them with CF 4.5, CF 5.0, CFMX and RedSky (once its released). The nice thing about these challenges (anybody have any ideas for new ones?) is that we have small code samples from many people doing complex tasks and all of them are trying to be "fast". So we get a lot of coding styles and techniques to compare. I'm always wanted to be able to spend more time on them and make them a regular feature.
