Of course not, because FB is written in CFML. If you want fast, you use assembler. If you've never written transactional web applications in assembler, you're missing out. ;)
Every framework, no matter what it does, adds overhead (usually SIGNIFICANT overhead) to the core function of the application. In many cases, using the framework effectively will allow the framework to make a pile of optimizations that return overall execution speed to something similar to a framework-less application. However, the benefits of frameworks (again, of basically any type) is not in performance, but in maintenance. An application that is well architected is easy to maintain for anyone who understands the architecture. An application that is well architected using a common framework is easy to maintain for anyone who understands the framework, and was very likely absolved from having to manually create a lot of boilderplate code that would have upped the cost of initial development. So aside from the tools that a given framework provides (whatever it does), the framework itself becomes sort of a lingua franca for all developers to use, greatly reducing the burden of changing development teams, and/or sharing of source code. However, you are correct, I can make any FB application have better performance characteristics by ripping out the FB. I just won't be able to modify it tomorrow with any sort of effectiveness, and the vast majority of applications are better served with easier development and maintenance than runtime performance. cheers, barneyb On 6/6/06, dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think I have ever seen a "fast" fb application > > ~Dave the disruptor~ > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
