A non-fusebox site will always be slightly faster than a fusebox site if
both are written with best programming practices. The central theme of
fusebox (besides best practices) is site organization. Any massive site
needs organization and fusebox is a nice, 'standard' way of doing it.
Of course I may be slightly wrong on what the core idea of FB is, but I
think I'm really close.
And as for open source CF, I'm all for it. The key to CF (IMHO) is the tag
based language. I'd love it if PHP, Asp and any other language used the
same. I've looked at a simple piece of code to get a date and format it in
jsp and CF. The CF is clean and understandable while the jsp is about 3 or 4
long nested operations. A Java programmer might look at it and say that it's
totally understandable but you want a language that can be used and learned
fast. Java and Jsp isn't that in comparison to CF. Actually, most languages
isn't that when compared to CF.
