I need to quickly lookup items in a struct, in which there's a 10% chance that the key will not exist. Offhand, does anyone have an idea which would be faster: Using StructKeyExists() first, then using StructFind() (or an associative-array style construct) if the first function is true, or just using StructFind() and trapping the exception generated if the key doesn't exist? Seems the first method requires CF to search the struct for the key twice 90% of the time, unless CF somehow caches the lookup. But I have no idea how much of a penalty throwing and catching the exception 10% of the time might be.
