Well... let's see.. Say I can type 60 words a minute... and we'll assume that - a word has an average of 5 letters - there is a space between each word - every 5 words there is a full stop. That would mean I've typed approximatley: (5 * 60) + (60) + (((5 * 60) + (60* 1))/5) = 432 words per minute. However, if we are dealing with a per character basis, I would need to say: 1 min = 432 char therefore 60 seconds = 432 char 1 char = 60/432 seconds 1 char = 0.139 seconds.. Now looking at: <cfset CurrentPage=GetFileFromPath(GetTemplatePath())> That's 54 characters (not counting trailing spaces, or tabs) - so that would take me: 54 * (60/432) = 7.5 seconds. But looking at: <cfset CurrentPage=CGI.SCRIPT_NAME> That's 35 characters so that would take me 35 * (60/432) = 4.86 seconds. Now assuming we don't start using cfscript, or have a snippet lying around, I would say using <cfset CurrentPage=CGI.SCRIPT_NAME> is faster to type. :o) As per which one takes longer? It really doesn't matter does it ;o) which is easier for you to use? It's not like you're going to be calling it several thousand times... (or are you? and if so... why would you do that?) If you really want to know - build a test harness, and loop over it 10,000 times, and time the results :o) Should be interesting all around ;o) (Yeah, yeah.. it's friday.. i felt like going off on a tangent for a while) :oD Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 3094740 Safe From Bees [ www.safefrombees.com ] --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
