Mike - With all due respect, I think the distinctive differences between FB and Mach II do not prevent one from making a judgment as to which framework is 'faster' for a given project. That being said, it is also probably too soon to make any conclusive statements on this issue, as the projects that are going to speak to the speed measured in bottom-line execution times can only just be getting underway. Also, individual projects will likely meet with individual results based on the capabilities of the development team.
I am currently porting an application to Mach II and noticing some exceptional speed increases on a project that primarily displays large amounts of cached data. My thoughts are that using the views in Mach II could be somewhat more efficent than the layouts approach used in FB. Again, this is just a positive benchmark, and not necessarily an indicator of overall speed enhancement within the framework.

Nicholas, there are major differences between Mach II and Fusebox 3.0 which really make them incomparable. Here are some major differences. FB 30 is a framework for procedural programming style (as against an OO based style). Mach II is firmly rooted in an OO based style. Mach II uses ColdFusion Components (cfc's) available only in ColdFusion MX and 6.1. There are many more differences; these are the main basic ones. Fusebox 3.0 to 4.0 would be a more logical comparison. Fusebox 4.0 is procedural but uses xml fairly heavily. ColdFusion MX would still be preferred for using FB 4.0 because of its xml handling capabilities as compared to CF 5.0. However, there is some code out there to somewhat mitigate this. Hth.
