Sure, I can see that. Although, you're not really burning 1/3rd of that time unless that's the only page everyone's running, you're just dragging down the average. So, your boss is taking the long view that the specific performance degradation isn't going to make enough of a difference to outweigh the improvement in readability that CFSWITCH is providing in this case. When you upgrade to CF8, this long view is arguably justified, isn't it? > I was waiting for that. :) Well, given what little I knew about your application, it was the obvious answer. I agree that it may not be the appropriate choice for your application, though.
