Programming Style Question

[FastJimmy]

I have a question about CF programming in general and the structure of a program.

I don't know if it makes any difference but is it better to put all the code for a section of an application on one page? (Meaning, with all the cfifs, queries, visual designs, etc) Or is it better to take a page that would normally be somewhere around 15k and break it into sub documents. (Say put all the queries in a page called, page_queries.cfm and visual stuff in page_visual.cfm)

Would this be able to improve the page performance at all, or is it just a matter of preference?

Thanks!

Jimmy

Each INCLUDE/MODULE/TAG adds a performance issue... but in my opinion it's not enough of a hit not to do it. Of course, you wouldn't want to over do it either. I prefer to break up code and use INCLUDE's. In my opinion it improves updateability and reuseability.

But, it's really a matter of preference. - tleish
