If you're using CFCs to implement ideas from object-oriented programming
(separating interface from implementation details, encapsulation, etc), you
want individual objects to be responsible for their own data. CFCs, and OO
programming in general, aren't about performance, they're about modeling
problems in a different (and theoretically better) way than procedural
programming languages allow.
