> why not just run a query on that page?
Every time your application has to retrieve data from an external
datasource, be it a SQL database or page fetched with CFHTTP, you increase
the page execution time dramatically and increase your reliance on external
devices such as the network, the server that houses the datasource, the SQL
Server, etc. For these reasons, it is usually preferable to use caching
mechanisms where appropriate in order to make your application faster and
more self reliant.
