An instance of a CFC is like any other variable. So, if X is a CFC, it will be removed at the end of the page. If Session.X is a CFC, it will last as long as the session. Etc. > 2.

It should not have to wait since every call to the CFC would be separate. This _should_ be like any other CFM request. > 3.

In case like what you describe, I'd cache the CFC in the application scope so it doesn't have to be recreated each time. That won't help the slow method, but it will at least remove _some_ of the execution time. ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
