Thanks for these suggestions Tom and Andy. I don't really know what about what I was doing brought down the server--but I am pretty sure it was due to my experimentation with images. My code basically is setup to take a directory tree and then loop through it to create thumbnails and watermarked images. I needed to use an image for my watermarking, so I was using a custom tag CFX_WATERMARK to do the watermarking. I am wondering if either there was a thread safe issue with this tag (or the CFIMAGE tag), because I didn't think to use CFLOCK around these.
As far as my initial image sizes, they are on average 1600x1200, but some are bigger and some are smaller...and I am resizing them down to 800x? and 100x?. I am trying out image.CFC now to see how that does. I haven't tried ColdFusion's image functions.
