what if you had say 100 sites, each with 100 pages. in each of those pages you use IIF where you could have used something faster. each site gets thousands of hits a day. could that not have a cumulative effect on cf server's performance?
the whole point of writing code that is marginally faster in performance than something else, isn't because it's super-duper faster on one run-through, or that you're only meant to use it in nested loops. it's to improve overall performance in the long run, isn't it?

You will only see any overhead if you use hundreds of IIF statements in a page or in some sort of nested loop. Otherwise the difference is too small to notice, it wont even make a 1ms difference to your page if you have a cfif instead of an IIF.
