Thanks for the answers all. I've taken the easy option of deleting everything and leaving 'Save Class Files' turned on. I'll monitor the number of files over the next week or so and may turn it off if the number of files grows huge again.
Never occured to me their would performance issues with lots of files. Thanks for the tip.

Wen you've got as many files as that, it's actually faster for CF to compile the file every time than for it to go trawl through 40,000 files on disk to find the right one.
