I tend to agree with you on this, but I will note that the timing problems seem to become more of an issue with long strings. Recently I ran a moderately complex function in a benchmark where doing the obsessive things like switching from double-quotes to single quotes gave a double-digit percentage speed-up. However, to put things in perspective, modifying the code to eliminate data copies and streamline if()s resulted in something like a 900% speedup. By that time, the point was made - the Cold Fusion it was being compared to took 125 times longer to run and wasn't as featureful... Chris
