Testing can be so interesting...
I ran your test, and got similar results to you on the "AbCdEfGhIj" string.
Ran the test again, using either quoted numbers or the words "no" or "yes"
for the string. The 'IS' was faster (CF is evaluating the word "NO" or "YES"
as boolean values).
Emilio did remember correctly, 'compareNoCase' is faster than 'is' when
comparing strings.
Thanks for the follow-up testing!

I did a the same test but user "AbCdEfGhIj" replace of "1"
2073 milliseconds
<cfloop index="x" from="1" to="10000">
<cfif x is "AbCdEfGhIj">
</cfif>
</cfloop>
841 milliseconds
<cfloop index="x" from="1" to="10000">
<cfif comparenocase(x,"AbCdEfGhIj")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
