Hi Martin Although I haven't done any serious testing, I've been surprised by the decent performance of COM objects in ColdFusion MX, including the XML Toolkit. Nevertheless, we've rewritten most of the XML functions in our applications to use the new native XML features.
As an example, you can download an MX version of the CF_XMLQuery tag from http://torchbox.com/xml If there's enough interest in MX versions of the other Toolkit tags we could rewrite these. Perhaps I'll do a poll on CF/XML usage and desires...
