Sorry I don't have time to answer each question right now but one thing just sort of 'spark's an idea. Please see below.

Wouldn't CFAS has some sort of "cache" mechnism for application framework files like Application.cfm, onRequestEnd.cfm etc. instead of processing them each time when a script is being process? And if that's true, "unnecessary processing" won't be true. Now, how long would the CFAS keep/use the cache, default value and configurable, which should be easy to implement, would that help? And it pops up another thought, some time ago, I suggested, as a measure for improved security, any CFMX installation can use a random file to replace the default Application.cfm framework for extra security via admin, because as someone pointed out some program can steel a file given known URL.
