I can see how a CFC can get large as is it supposed to be a library of like functions, so if you had a site that had a calendar that was cfc based (for instance) and you had all of you calendaring functions in that cfc, that could get huge. Would you really want to break up the functional unit into separate CFC's? Would that be any more efficient than having them in one big file (as long as they were all related of course).
