I'm still not convinced that line count is an indicator of good (or bad) design.
What would you consider small? 100 lines? 500 lines? Have we already defined large as 1000+ lines? Would you include "Get / Set" methods in your line count?
Most of the SQL statements I've dealt with rarely go beyond 20 lines. The bulk of the "lines" are usually due to specifying each individual column returned from the query (No wildcards). I'm curious as to what sort of queries you are writing.

That's why I said it's a "strong indicator". I also have big CFCs (usually due to big SQL statements), but in general I'll stick by my statement. Huge CFCs very often are CFCs that are doing too much. Put another way: it's my opinion that most well-designed CFCs are small.

I don't know if I agree that "number of lines of code" is an indicator of poor logic / component design. It may be, it may not be; without knowing more details we just can't tell.
Of the two big projects I'm working on, both have components > 1000 lines. One on I'd say the design is suspect, on another I'd say the design was solid. Of course, I'm not basing either decision on the number of lines of code in components.
