I can speak only for Railo, but I assume in MX it is almost the same. By setting a cfoutput tag you turn on a switch for the engine to write the output to the response buffer and to interpret pound signs or not. It also depends on the <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly> tag. So I guess it would be a little more performant if you use only on <cfoutput> around your document. In Railo you can nest y<cfoutput> as often as you like. The funny thing is, that you can not nest <cfoutput> in files but you could do something like this:
<cfoutput> <cfinclude template="test.cfm"> </cfoutput> whereas test.cfm contains: <cfoutput> .... </cfoutput> But keep in mind, that you might generate a lot of unnecessary output when surrounding your complete template with a <cfoutput>. Inside <cfoutput query=""> nesting <cfoutput> is necessary in order to act on value changes in the query columns, if you use the group attribute.
