well personally i try to avoid evaluates too. it still is about the computational expense. same with query of queries. the expense of QoQ can be seen dramatically when there's looping involved. I remember when I first started at this job, one of the components was doing a recursive drilldown with QoQ's. changed that to not use QoQ and increased performance at that module by more than 40%. of course, that gain got minimalized to 40% of 20ms when we switched to CF8 heh.
