Ah, I see. Well, glad to see that QueryExecute() has near-identical performance because cfscript is so much easier to read, especially when the <cfquery> has tons of ugly <cfqueryparam> tags, which every secure query should, of course.
Also, the QueryExecute() code example in that doc page is more verbose than it needs to be, and oddly uses positional parameter binding instead of named parameters which are much easier to read.
