A slight diversion, but this is something that gets on my nerves about
cfparam, it's main use is the creation of a variable if it doesn't exist
already? So why does the type attribute do validation? I've posted this on
cf-talk but got answers to questions I didn't ask. I think cfparams type
attribute should make it work like
<cfif NOT IsDefined("myVar") OR NOT IsNumeric(myVar)>
<cfset myVar = 10>
</cfif>
and not throw an error on a type mismatch.

How much is the additional overhead? I find it hard to believe that it's
anything noticeable. Have you run any stress testing to indicate otherwise?
Ironically, I had actually heard that *not* having the type attribute was
slower. My personal preference is to always be as explicit as possible, when
reasonable. But, to me, that's all minutiae, as I think we're talking about
tenths of milliseconds, and the true focus should be on caching and other
higher-level things (unless, of course, your testing has proven otherwise).

Dave.
