Hey Dave, This is through experience; try and run some CPU intensive processes and see how badly the DataDirect driver performs - it a good driver for sure, but it ain't the best, in fact I am yet to find a really good one - I haven't really tested the BD connector - maybe that it better.
We found that more complex operations under highload performed better using CFQUERY on basic processes - it seemed to be that CF just seemed to queue up requests waiting on the SP to finish/return. I am also not sure if its CF or the DataDirect driver on this one but if you try and return multiple recordsets (BLOB/CLOB) it will simply stop responding - seems like on an SP with around 8-10 large recordsets returned it will just fall over.

I'm not trying to be critical, I just want to learn more about this. It doesn't really match with my experience so far.
