When calling your CFC remotely, you wouldn't be accessing the object as part of any particular scope, so the object would be reinstantiated on each call (remember to properly scope your variables). If you want your object to be cached in some fashion, have your template call a .cfm page which accesses your object from a scope, where you might have it cached in the SESSION or APPLICATION scope, where you <cfoutput> your return inside of a <cfcontent> block specifying a text return type. I'm fairly sure you couldn't do this for a webservice call, but I've used this technique before with Ajax calls prior to CF8 (for different reasons).
