Re: [CFCDev] Code Optimization Questions: cfscript vs cfml and xslt vs cfmx xml functions

[Matt Liotta]

The answer to both questions is to use whatever allows you to develop 
your application the fastest since in almost all cases labor is more 
expensive than hardware in regards to achieving desired performance 
levels. You might be interested in my presentation to CFUN-03 on CF 
Performance Tuning (http://www.cfconf.org/cfun-03/Topics.cfm#adv7) I 
gave in June. Just looking through the slides will show that code 
optimization is one of the last things you need to worry about in 
regard to performance; caching and database issues are significantly 
more important.

	I have two questions.
	
	The first is in regards to the use of <cfscript> vs CFML. I can see 
where it is sometimes more convenient to use <cfscript> however I was 
wondering if there is a performance increase in CFMX? Since the pages 
are compiled to Java classes does this matter anymore?
	
	My second question is in regards to performance and XML. When 
processing XML documents is it better to use XSLT or the built in CFMX 
XML functions? Is there a difference in performance? Sometimes it is 
just faster to use the CFMX functions, but was not sure if there was  
a performance hit vs using XSLT.
