Uh, yah. If you're so concerned about application speed, you really shouldn't be using CF (or any other scripting language). There are all sorts of high-performance alternatives, such as ISAPI and Apache modules. Enjoy writing C++. Without getting into the framework debate (framework vs no framework, framework a vs framework b), easing application maintenance will have a bigger effect on the overall cost of a typical web application than anything else you could do. The only projects that don't require maintenance are the ones that fail. In my experience, I generally haven't seen any significant performance degradation caused by the use of any specific framework, and I've seen a lot of applications. But even if there was some performance degradation, that would generally be a small price to pay if it makes the application significantly easier to maintain.
