Right Barney. I've architected dozens of FB3 sites without ever needing to use a recursive call to the fusebox.
Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that FB3 has garnered a lot of bad press. Everyone in the FB community loves FB3! I've been to most of the conferences and have been on the HOF list for a few years. In my opinion the only bad press I've heard is from overly clever folks who try to make things as complicated as possible rather than just getting the job done. FB 3 gets the job done with tons of upside. FB4 sounds like it'll be great also, but shouldn't take anything away from FB3.

I'm impressed. >From what I've gathered, applications making heavy use of recursive calls to the fusebox are not the norm for FB3 applications, and the performance gain you mention is tied directly to that style of coding. If you don't make use of recursive calls, you'll see a performance increase with FB4 over FB3, but it won't be nearly that substantial. I'm not beating a dead horse, just don't want to let anyone get the idea that FB4 is orders of magnitude faster for all situations. It might be for some, but not all. cheers, barneyb --- Barney Boisvert, Senior Development Engineer AudienceCentral [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice : 360.756.8080 x12 fax : 360.647.5351 www.audiencecentral.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Kotek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 4:43 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Cons to Fusebox > > > I should have been clearer, in that the application in question used > multiple CFMODULE calls to recursively call the Fusebox core and > populate several sections of content.
