In my experience with CFFILE going back to CF 2.0, CF will need approximatly
2.25 - 2.5 times the file size of memory to process a file. It will also
need approximately the same amount of disk space. So, if you expect 2 100MB
files to be uploaded at the same time, you are going to need in excess of
500MB of RAM available, and in excess of 500MB of diskspace available. Your
mileage may vary, but not by that much.
