I agree completely on the readability issue.In my application.cfm

I ran some code both ways back when CFMX came out... Didn't notice much of a
difference.
It could be that I imagined things, but my tickcount was
lower with more code in cfscript.I didn't think it would
make a difference, but I went with it.
