Such as the aforementioned memory consumption or something else? I had some problems in ColdFusion 4.0, though I think (besides not giving up memory) most were squared away by 4.1. I don't think I deployed anything to (nor load tested on) 4.5. ColdFusion 5 seemed to be better about giving up resources that weren't in use. Over the past few versions of ColdFusion, I load tested various applications on various configurations. Most used custom tags to some extent. In fact, the homegrown framework I wrote made extensive use of custom tags, both to modularize the code and handle permissions. I used (and load tested) apps written in the framework at various points. Obviously, custom tags are more overhead than cfinclude. However, I didn't see any overwhelming performance issues. That's not to say they don't exist, just that I seemed have gotten lucky...or my load testing was not very accurate. :) Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185841 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
