With tag based syntax whether you emit whitespace between tags depends on a combination of admin settings and whether cfprocessingdirective or cfsetting has caused whitespace to be supressed. All three of those are runtime settings, so the tag based code has to be compiled to check those settings and emit or suppress whitespace accordingly. That's where there will be a speed difference. How big that difference will be is probably not significant for most applications, but it does exist.

Might I suggest that you look at the decompiled java code produced by each version of your code.
I have found that the non-cfscript version has more whitespace code generated while the actual "meat" of the code is compiled to the same thing.
So, in general, cfscript produces faster code than its non-cfscript counterpart.
Eh? The whitespace argument doesn't really apply in this case, I don't think. In the end, you're talking about the compiled code that gets executed on the server, which is whitespace-ignorant. What you really want to compare is the *syntax* differences in the resulting Java between coding with cfloop vs. cfscript loop.
The whitespace argument really applies to any space that might exist in your resulting HTML page that CF generates in the output buffer. That whitespace is sent to the browser, hence inflating the overall page size the web server needs to serve and the browser needs to download, thereby increasing overhead/load on both ends. Again, though, this point doesn't apply to the cfscript vs. tag argument.

Dave.
