I use it for its intended purpose. When I create an object and am done with it, I release it. I also set the object = "".
<cfset obj = createObject(....)> Stuff here... <cfset releaseCOMObject(obj)> <cfset obj = ""> I was told this is the best way since the java garbage collector will pick up on the empty obj variable and clean it up when not needed anymore. I can't say that it helps performance, but if you *don't* use the function, you could have memory problems. Especially, if the COM objects are leaky. In other words, it won't help performance, but it could prevent bad performance.
