The instructions to build the string would be cached. The string itself,
however, would be assembled every time the code is called.

Subject: how much is too much optimization?
consider the following code:
<cfset errorMessage = "This error message is too long to see on one line
without scrolling"
& "across the screen. Therefore, I have broken it up into three
different strings that I"
& "combine to create one error message">
i realize that compiling this statement involves several steps. however,
after it's compiled into "p-code", does it really matter? does programming
like this only affect the initial compilation, which is cached, or does it
affect every hit?
i think this is a very important question because if it only affects the
first hit, it puts an optimation effort into a completely different
perspective.
