Hi Everyone,
From what I have gathered the main advantages of using cfc's are in the code
organization and code reuse. It seems certain that the same code written in
plain cfml will run faster than one in which calls are made to cfc methods.
Even if I instantiate a cfc and persist it in the application/server scope,
the plain cfml code runs faster than the one using the cfc approach. Am I
missing something here or does the OOP path definitely has a performance
handicap.

Thanks for your inputs!

I've never measured execution time but I'll accept your observations. I always
try to keep things as simple as possible and cfm files are simpler than cfcs.
Therefore I need a reason to write cfc's.

My reasons are code reuse and making the code available outside of cold
fusion. I've written cfc's for both reasons.
