Its actually faster according to the tests I've seen. Both ArrayAppend and cfsaveContent came out the fastest in John Whish's testing on CF8 (see http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/string-concatenation-performance-test-128). In most cases both of these were faster than StringBuilder or StringBuffer. concatenate with coldfusion : 6797ms listappend with coldfusion : 21344ms arrayappend with coldfusion : 47ms coldfusion with save content: 47ms concatenate with java stringbuffer : 62ms concatenate with java StringBuilder : 63ms Some time or other I'll have to try John's test case under load with jMeter and see what the performance is actually like. regards, larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338986 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
