If you care about the speed difference, CFML is the wrong language to be using. CFML is designed to be "fast enough", but primarily focus on ease of development. If you care about the handful of clock cycles that might differentiate those two, you're better off with a platform that is designed with performance foremost on the requirements list. I.e. C with assembler libraries.
Now if you want to know about readability, that's a far better question, though I think it boils down primarily to personal style. cheers, barneyb On 1/30/06, James Reily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Which of these executes faster, or do they each take the same amount of > processing?
