I think the idea is that as long as you have sufficient RAM, a call to the Application scope will always be quicker than than a call to the CFC. If you have a gig of RAM dedicated to CF, a few MB of objects is negligible. If your RAM is an issue, it's probably fine to call right to the CFC. Also Adrian gave a few good reasons to take the objectFactory approach: the main one being you are re-using code rather than duplicating code in different places. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
