As promised, here is the talk that I did for the UKCFUG last night!
http://www.cfm-resources.com/c/cfdoc/presentation.zip
Please note, that it does talk about cfdoc and fusedoc. even though I wrote
cfdoc, I have not majored on either one to push either one! I hope this is
helpful!
Paul
PS If anyone doesn't remember, I promised to let you all see it

> Make sure to fit as much of your SQL on one line as possible. Always

> Make sure to use a pound sign in EVERY place possible.

> Never use error handling (those cool CF error messages always enhance the

> Hey if you are good with C/C++ go ahead and write as much of your

> Make sure to do things the most processor intensive way possible
> use IIF all over the place, this will make the processor

> Follow these simple guidelines and im most certain you will find
