The other thing, Taco, is do you really want to encourage it to think about garbage collecting mid request?
I used to do a lot of desktop Java application programming and that was always fun when I was doing things with many threads and alpha-beta pruning big trees and then the collector kicks in!!! >:-) (though it was way back when and I know that aspect of the virtual machine's meant to be cleaned up a lot now) - J -----Original Message----- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 9 March 2004 5:20 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Variables > To destroy or not to destroy?

To be honest, I doubt it'll make much difference to performance (except perhaps slow things down since structDelete() is expensive) - unless you're talking about instance data in a CFC that is held in a shared scope. CFMX is very good at creating and destroying short-lived data - without you needing to do anything like this.
