I've read that cfloop is faster when doing certain things, but if your
using it to cfoutput, like this:
<cfloop query="qryName">
<cfoutput>#var1#</cfoutput> blah blah blah
<cfoutput>#var2#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
That way supposedly runs slower because CF has to parse the data in each
cfoutput.

I would actually disput that claim. I can't find the article for the
life of
me, but I think Michael Dinowitz or somebody wrote an article some time
ago
comparing the two methods. From what I remember CFLOOP is faster because
it
is a "dumbed down" way of outputting your data. It doesn't look for
record
set counts or anything, it just loops over whatever you give it. I wish
I
could support this claim with valid links to writings, but I know I have
heard and read that CFLOOP is faster.
Dave.

<cfoutput> is much faster than cfloop .... always try to use cfoutput
when
you can.
