With CFMX Standard, the context root is "/", so every request is routed
through the CF module for your web server to determine whether CF should
handle it. So, on CFMX Standard, you won't get that performance increase.
I'm not sure how significant it is, at any rate - my mileage has varied,
especially since most of the things I'm working with are all dynamic except
for images, SWFs, and the like.

If you want requests for those things not to pass through the CF module, you
can set up another virtual server or directory that doesn't process CF
requests at all, and fetch your static content from that. The virtual server
can even use the same root directory as your CF-enabled virtual server, if
you like.
