If you're looking to reduce the memory in use then switching from custom tags to CFCs in application scope will make your problem worse, not better. Also application scope is not shared across applications so you will go from zero memory footprint (custom tags) to a fixed footprint in every application which adds up on a single server. > I am looking at an approach similar to Mach-II, but it needs to fit within > the current design framework and CFC's was being considered to leverage of > the super methods etc and was thinking that it might be cheaper execution > time and memory with a cfc compared to custom tag. "super" relates to inheritance and unless you have a strict "is-a" relationship between your CFCs you shouldn't use inheritance. Furthermore, once you get into inheritance, you'll pay a performance overhead and use more more. > As to how I am going to approach this is still in the air, but I thought OO > would be a better approach to try to cut down the code for better reuse and > that is the main objective at the moment, Yes, that's true. You will eventually end up with a more maintainable system but until you've done substantial refactoring and reduction of code, you're simply going to increase you memory overhead. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 49, yes 49, invites to give away!
