Well I have noticed that the time to instantiate a CFC, using cfinvoke or createobject is slower than using a customtag, a clinclude or a UDF. And the only way to avoid this is to cache the cfc in a persistent scope, such as application.
When I first tried out the Model-Glue framework I found the speed to be dire, the pages took seconds to load, compared to milliseconds for the same site not done using CFC's Russ -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 December 2006 17:09 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Application.cfc vs cfm > While on this subject.

Is it slower than using application.cfm and > onrequestend.cfm I haven't bothered doing any testing. However, I haven't seen any evidence that CFCs are inherently slower than CFM files. I don't see any reason why they would be, either, once compiled. I can see why they might take longer to compile, since every method is compiled into a separate class, but this shouldn't be an issue in a busy production environment. It is slower to invoke a CFC from within a CFM file than not to. It appears, in my limited testing, to be slower to use any formal code reuse mechanism (CFC invocation, CFML custom tags) than to run code inline or to use a CFINCLUDE. Finally, even if there were a cost to doing this, you should only have to pay it once, when Application.cfc is compiled. So, in summary, I wouldn't avoid Application.cfc because of performance concerns.
