pre-MX6.1 there was a performance gain. Now, if I understand correctly, it all compiles down to the same java bytecode, so there's no performance gain to speak of.
As far as there still being a 'benefit' to using it...I guess that's subjective. Some people like the script syntax better than tags. Some find it easier to read. I think, at the very least, if you're setting a ton of variables, cfscript is a bit quicker to type out. <cfset varA = "foo1" /> <cfset varB = "foo2" /> <cfset varC = "foo3" /> varA = "foo1"; varB = "foo2"; varC = "foo3"; without having to type out the 'cfset' explicitly for each line (not to mention the brackets), it's simply fewer keystrokes per line. Whether or not you find that to be a "benefit" (or at least, benefit enough to use cfscript if you're more comfortable with tags) is entirely your call.
