Thank you for your input.  Using the mode=debug on a modified code that does everything except forward the user on using CFLOCATION, the average execution speed is about 260 milliseconds, which I did not think was that bad...certainly not enough to account for the extra 5 seconds that it appears to be taking. 
 
We do use this method on two different databases and one works faster than the other, so I will take a look at our databases to see the differences in indexing & execution.
 
Thanks, again.

If you've got Debug set on, take a look at the response time of the
queries in theLinkUsage.cfm page... the issue might not be in your
location action but in what the page is doing.  If you're running SQL
Server you might want to check for proper indexing on the tables
involved... take one of the queries and run it through the execution
plan in Query Analyzer and see what happens... if you see table scans
then the DB is your culprit.

Good luck!
