There is a performance hit, but very minor - I personally think that it's
ugly to read when like that
I've got some performance figures, if I can dig them out...
<Runs off to find documentation>
OK, these are figures I generated from running a variety of tests, many
times and averaging the results to get a realistic answer
With #s on the right of the equals, CF (seems) to run about 2-3% slower
With #s on both sides of the equals, CF (seems) to run about 3-4% slower
The more #s there are on the right, the more it slows down
On the average page this will make little or no difference, but on high
volume sites, this can effect the performance
Note that the test templates were done with scoping on all variables, even
the variables. ones
Performance tests done on a single processor PIII-600 machine with 128Mb RAM
running IIS4, CF 4.5.1, pcAnywhere, FTPServ-U and Anti-Virus software
Tests were done multiple times as the server is running 15 CF based sites
which were all running simultaneously to the tests, but during a low(ish)
traffic period
The data was written row by row into a SQL Server database on another
machine connected via a 100Mhz connection, but the times were written after
the template had completed it's run
Being clever (sarcasm here) I over-wrote my test templates with other tests,
so I can't provide the actual code I used
