That's probably a good point because once it is compiled down to a java class it all looks the same. I think the speed was probably only in the compiling of the file while CF took all of the non-typed language and turned it into java matching the appropriate variable types necessary. Therefore, it's probably not a huge increase in performance but it probably makes CF's initial compiling job a little easier.

I remembered someone saying this had been debunked as something that was true at one point in time but no longer true with recent versions of CF, like the idea that cfscript is faster than tags or the fact that iif() is slow compared to equivalent cfif and cfset statements. Both of these two latter examples are items which were true once upon a time, but not with recent versions. Or so I've heard. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237628 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
