Also depends if a few milliseconds is really going to affect your
application.
Personally I have never seen evaluate() bring down a server or cause fire
and brimstone to reign down on earth.

While it may not be as bad as it once was in terms performance-wise, it's
still bad for various other reasons.  If you feel you need to use
evaluate(), chances are good you're missing a language facet or you have a
design flaw somewhere.  It also often results in less readable code, because
you have to manually do string parsing and evaluation, rather than relying
on native language constructs.

And if the handful of microseconds matter to your application's performance,
using CF is a probably bad choice anyway.
