Just ran a test using my CGLOBAL table that holds client variables in an
ODBC database. Over 1000 loops of a query grabbing cfid and using
recordcount, it took 20031 ms of time. To get the recordcount using the
count(*) method, over 1000 loops of the same table, it only took 3406 ms.
So, if you are only interested in the amount of rows, count(*) from SQL is
much better, but in most cases, you want data and a recordcount, there I
would use CF's RecordCount variable.

Subject: count() or recordcount
Which is faster? I'm presuming count() or what else would it be good for?
