>From CFStudio (paraphrased):
The template attribute defines a path to the custom tag (including all path
information). The name attribute defines the name of the custom tag in the
form "Name.Name.Name... " that uniquely identifies a subdirectory containing
the custom tag page under the root directory for CF custom tags.
The difference is that in hosted environments where you dont have access to
the custom tags directory you can template to access directories you have
access to.

I believe that CFModule is faster because the tag does not have to resolve
the location information (local directory first then directories under
customtags until a match is found). Using CFModule also eliminates the
possibility of calling someone else's tag by accident.
