CFC VS CFML - Once and for all

Question

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.
