It's not the cfcontent is resource intensive, but using it for security like I suggested causes 5-10 times as many requests to go through CF whereas before they would just go to the web server.
Typical request for CFM page = one request to CF. Request for CFM page with all images going through CF = 5-10 requests to CF A lot more requests for CF to handle, albeit short ones. Might help to increase number of simultaneous requests being processed.
