I"m looking for milliseconds to shave off an app that creates XML files. it consists fo a cfc that takes a bean with LOTS of getters and setters, and makes an XML file out of it.
What i have now is a cfc that has 107 methods. Each method makes a fragment of the XML file, with some conditional logic and one method stitches them all together and returns a completed XML string. My thought is that perhaps this app might run faster if instead of one CFC with 107 methods it might be better to split the cfc into 4 or 5 different cfcs, that load as required. So my question is, if there's no difference in the actual amount of processing involved, would it be likely to run faster with one big cfc or several small cfcs? Or to put it another way . is there a performance hit when instantiating large CFCs? Greater than a number of smaller CFCS? (the large one i ahve now has 3200lines and 107 methods. It seems when i load it that there might be quite a bit of parsing and syntax checking going on while it's being instantiated. yes? ) -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 8 Enterprise , PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309434 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
