I got curious and tested it out for myself. Here's the results:
cfscript switch - 600 ms
cfswitch - 181 ms
for this code:
<cfset time1 = gettickcount()>
<cfscript>
j = 0;
i = 0;
for (i = 1;i lte 1000;i=incrementvalue(i)) {
j = RandRange(1,10000);
switch (j) {
case "j lte 250": {
j = j +1;
break;
}
case "j lte 500": {
j=j+1;
break;
}
case "j lte 750": {
j=j+1;
break;
}
case "j lte 1000": {
j=j+1;
break;
}
}
}
</cfscript>
<cfset out = GetTickcount() - time1>
<cfoutput>cfscript switch - #out# ms</cfoutput>
<cfset time1 = getTickCount()>
<cfset j=0>
<cfset i=0>
<cfloop from="1" to="1000" index="i">
<cfset j=RandRange(1,10000)>
<cfswitch expression="j">
<cfcase value="j lte 250">
<cfset j = j +1>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="j lte 500">
<cfset j = j +1>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="j lte 750">
<cfset j = j +1>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="j lte 1000">
<cfset j = j +1>
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
</cfloop>
<cfset out = GetTickcount() - time1>
<cfoutput><br>cfswitch - #out# ms</cfoutput>

Subject: cfswitch vs switch
> I seem to remember hearing that the cfscript switch statement is a dog
compared to the equivalent cfswitch code...Is this correct?
