We have been using a link hit counter to track which links our users are selecting. 
This involves passing a linkID number to a "linkUsage.cfm" template, that does these 
things:
1) Finds the right table (1/month) and creates a new one, if needed (i.e. the 
beginning of the month)
2) Inserts a row in this table
3) Finds the URL based on the linkID
4) Uses CFLOCATION to send the user on this URL.

Response time for such an application is getting too long (upwards of 10 seconds).  
I've tested the system up to the point of the CFLOCATION tag and the response times 
have averaged about 260 milliseconds (0.260 sec?), which seems reasonable.  So that 
leaves the CFLOCATION tag as the potential reason for the slow response.  Does anybody 
else have info about CFLOCATION and its potential slowness? 

Does anybody else have a better solution?

Thanks.
