This tag is amazing at increasing performance in your CFML code. But it doesn't work with CFTRY if you wrap it around the CFTRY tag. I haven't tried it the other way yet or with cfscript's try control statement.

The documentation on EVERY Coldfusion tag needs to display what the output is, the code also needs to be color-coded. Just so everybody knows, the output of the code is as follows:
---------------------
<h3>cfsilent</h3>



<p>Even information within cfoutput tags does not display within a
cfsilent block.<br>

b-a = -1

</p>
---------------------
None of the line breaks are created from the <cfset> tags, because of this, i suggest always using this code to reduce extra linebreaks that are uneeded.

The documentation should also provide a link to the function that eliminates all line breaks, except those within a CFOUTPUT tag. that way you can <cfsilent> all of your code, and the only code that is output is the code within the output tag. Just like PHP works with the <?PHP ... ?>, only text in the echo Echo 'my variable: $var'; gets output.
