  • Boost your applications performance with cached CFCs
    When using the cfinvoke tag or the CreateObject function on your pages, it adds CPU time to process the requests to load all of those objects into memory. Under load this can make quite a difference in your page response times. One way to get around it is to put those objects into a shared scope so they only get instantiated once. This will save memory and CPU time on your server.
