If it's feasible and more importantly, readable, combine some of your code
on one line. However, using the <cfsetting> tag helps greatly with white
space.
At the top of your template (or somewhere near there) put:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes">
And at the end of your template, put:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="No">
This will eliminate the majority of your white space problems by not
rendering any white space that's not wrapped inside of a <cfoutput>. You may
need to insert a few more <cfoutput> tags in your page, but I think it's a
small price to pay for a smaller size file.
Hope that helps,
~Mark
