While they may or may not run faster in CF 5 than they do in previous
versions, they're always going to be slower than the use of a simple CFIF
tag. IIf and Evaluate both take strings and, well, evaluate them as if those
strings were code. This is generally a slow thing to do in most programming
languages. A simple CFIF just executes the code you give it.
