I too, use BBEdit (you're welcome)!
CFMX is "Neo" is CF Version 6. The MX signifies a family of products DreamWeaver MX, Flash MX, ColdFusion MX which have been redesigned to work together with better interfaces.
As to performance, during beta, there were a few performance issues, but these were because of all the debugging code included within CF. The released version of CFMX is touted to perform at least as well as CF 5. Much of this is probably due to:
The efficiency of the JRun Application Server
Pre-Compiling CF Tags and Functions into classes
Compiling CFMX templates into Java classes and caching them
The efficiency of the Java JIT compiler
So, we have a procedure-oriented language and its applications, implemented in an object-oriented language.
Actually, the whole thing should scale pretty well.
IBM apparently thinks so, as they announced an agreement with MM to provide CFMX on WebSphere.

I am not familiar enough with WebObjects to know if the potential exists for a similar combination of WebObjects with CFMX.
