"Use <cfscript> Instead of Three or More <cfset>s The reason is this: When you use cfscript, the entire block gets sent to the engine at once. So, ColdFusion has to make only one read. When you send three or more <cfset> statements, ColdFusion gets to interpret them once each, or three times. Therefore, it's faster and cleaner."
From: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24131&seqNum=3 " Always use cfscript for blocks of variable assignments for values greater than one. It is significantly faster than cfset. Example: <cfscript> a=1; b=2; c=3; </cfscript> Not: <cfset a=1> <cfset b=2> <cfset c=3>" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/server_archive/articles/coding_for_performance.h tml " pre-MX6.1 there was a performance gain. Now, if I understand correctly, it all compiles down to the same java bytecode, so there's no performance gain to speak of." http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:43908 While it may not be true for CFMX 7 & 8 it was a documented best practice for CF 5 and back. I've continued to use this method, especially when declaring multiple variables. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 12:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Using tags with CFSCRIPT > Using CFScript should be a bit faster as CF processes the > CFScript block all at once as opposed to processing each > tag individually. I strongly doubt this, and have seen no evidence (load tests) that it's true now, even if it may have been true in the past (which I also doubt).
