Our testing confirms your suspicions; a duplicate() seems to perform better than re-parsing the XML string.
We went with duplicate as a quick fix for our framework; if we find something better, we'll let everyone know. I voted for a fix in CF and I encourage others to do the same: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform ******BUG****** Concise problem statement: XMLSearch() is not thread safe. Steps to reproduce bug: 1. Create XML object in a shared scope like APPLICATION. 2. Search the object with different XMLSearch() xpath expressions in multiple requests at the same time under significant load. Results: Null pointer errors, incorrect search results. Expected results: correct searches, no NPEs.
