I've always hated using that syntax as it totally breaks the idea of encapsulation and just feels totally wrong. Anyway, using a custom tag means creating a 'new' instance of something that has it's own environment. More overhead than I want, even if it's small. But that doesn't address the original issue:
I'm wondering if a heavily used, cached CFC that has a lot of variables being written to the global variables scope has any overhead associated with the multiple variables being written to the global variables scope or would it be more efficient to VAR every variable in a function, even if it's not being used? >I have never passed back scopes from a custom tag...
