Thanks Jerry. That's not an option, really. My # of scheduled tasks would increase quite a bit if I took that approach and because of the inconsistencies of the feeds, extra steps are needed to be performed to make certain that all of the data is homogeneuous between the feeds. That said, the tasks are running very well considering what is being done.
Basically it comes down to this. Are there any shared CF web hosts that allow to have an high number of scheduled tasks be run daily knowing that some of them may take a few minutes to complete? -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 1:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: What type of CF hosting do I need? Dont take so long on each task. break them down smaller, into more granular pieces. dont process them all at one whack, but build a queue of items to process, and then run through them individually or in much smaller groups.
