You still need some sort of central DB server, so it's still putting extra load on a server (either shared with your regular server or another piece of hardware for which you'll have to pay even more $). CF uses JRUN clustering which basically communicates from one node to another. I'm not sure which one is more efficient, but my guess is the JRUN one is.
You can edit one of the files, and tell JRUN to store session info in the db, so it's not much harder then doing it in ASP. CF just gives you more options.
