There was a huge thread a few weeks ago on this topic...there is a persistent myth that Evaluate is slower than the structure methods for evaluating dynamic variables...however I and some others did some testing and found the difference is negligible. Possibly older versions of CF had performance issues with Evaluate which is why it has a bad rep.
