ColdFusion Config Settings

Here is the problem I needed to come up with a way to allow my client admins to set alias's for entry forms and report headers. So I started looking at localization and quickly found that, that was not a good Idea at all so then I started looking at using ini files since ColdFusion has functions for reading and setting config keys. I also found that I didn't like using the config file for this so I created a table to store the infromation. Then I decided to do some test to see if the was some benefit to using a DB verses the ini file low and behold there is.
This code block took [58ms] to run

<cftimer label="iniSettings" type="debug">  <cfscript>   iniFile = expandPath('config_1234_12.ini.cfm');   clientStruct  ={    clientNameLabel = getProfileString(iniFile, "client", 'clientNameLabel'),    clientNameHasValidation = getProfileString(iniFile, "client", 'clientNameHasValidation'),    clientNameValidation = getProfileString(iniFile, "client", 'clientNameValidation')   };  </cfscript>  <cfoutput>   <label>#clientStruct['clientNameLabel']#</label>   <input type="input" name="clientName">   <input type="button" value="Click Me!" onclick="validate()">   <script>    function validate(){     <cfif IsBoolean(clientStruct["clientNameHasValidation"]) AND clientStruct["clientNameHasValidation"] is true>      #ReReplaceNoCase(clientStruct["clientNameValidation"],'~clientname~', clientStruct["clientNameLabel"])#     </cfif>    }   </script>    </cfoutput> </cftimer>

This code block took [2ms] to run

<cftimer label="DBSettings" type="debug">  <cfscript>   args = {    cfSection = "client"   };      clientStruct=application.configSettingsService.queryToPropStruct(application.configSettingsService.getByAttributesQuery(argumentcollection=args));   if(StructKeyExists(clientStruct,'')){      }  </cfscript>  <cfoutput>   <label>#clientStruct['clientNameLabel']#</label>   <input type="input" name="clientName">   <input type="button" value="Click Me!" onclick="validate()">   <script>    function validate(){     <cfif IsBoolean(clientStruct["clientNameHasValidation"]) AND clientStruct["clientNameHasValidation"] is true>      #ReReplaceNoCase(clientStruct["clientNameValidation"],'~clientname~', clientStruct["clientNameLabel"])#     </cfif>    }   </script>    </cfoutput> </cftimer>

I know 58ms doesn't seem like much but remeber in this example its only one field and I have pages the have 50 fields that a client might alias.

First attempt.
