Well, again thanks for all the help and tips guys and gal (and Will) ;-P I managed to cut the processing time of the send tool over half with some spring cleaning... or basically... rewriting it from the ground up to get rid of some seriously mentally challenged code ;-)
Stored procedures helped TREMENDOUSLY over normal cfquery tags. I dont normally cache queries in administrative tools but the ones that didnt get converted to stored procs got cached for 1 minute as well... that also cut off a small amount from the overall time. Caching the actual content of the page didnt seem to change anything really. But now that the entire tool is in AJAX... it gives the IMPRESSION of being basically instant :-) I can stop email bombing my co-workers now :-) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

It definitely speeds it up to me. Thank everyone for their input and help. ...:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I have no idea what causes the difference, but the speed of cfmail is not related to the speed of the client connection. Uploading a large file with e-mail addresses might make a difference, sending a few MB of data back to the client might make the difference, but it does not matter for cfmail.
