I find this very interesting in that my totally unscientific though process was: Since cfsavecontent is so damn easy to use it *must* be resource intensive. Go figure-- ColdFusion strikes again. If string.concat() creates a brand new string object in memory to hold the combination of the two original strings, then given a consistently average sized string being added each time I would expect memory consumption to be exponential. For instance, if you concatenated a string 1 byte in size 10 times over, you would consume 55 bytes of memory. 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55 For the life of me I can't figure out what the Big-O notation would be for that though... ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Guido [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 1:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CSV Generation MEMORY SUCK I did a million loops - I don't know what possessed me to do that.
