I have been having the same problem on machines with CF 4 where i have to
cycle CF sometimes because it will become unresponsive..Its not iis because
iis will still spit asp and html pages back at me like no tommorow...What i
have done is upped my Page File to 2 and Half Gigs and set coldfusion
template cache to 1gig and it has stoped most of the unresponsive problems.
I still get it everynow and then but not much .
