No, there's always a performance penalty for making a page go through CF before the web server.
HTML pages always (unless specifically set up otherwise) go straight from the hard disk to the web server to the browser. CFM pages always (uneless misconfigured or on purpose) go from the HDD to the CF Server, are Parsed and outputted in CF, then sent to the web server, then the browser. The compilation only happens on the first hit, you're correct, but after that, CF runs compiled classes. It still has to run it each time though. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ Marco Antonio C. Santos wrote: > Dave > > that speed penalty only occurs in the firts load page right?
