Perhaps you could do the logging in onRequestEnd, after returning the page to the browser using CFFLUSH? The user wouldn't have to wait, in that case, although other users' requests may end up in the queue a bit longer. You might also spend some time minimizing the work that logging does. Are you logging to a database? Maybe you could defer that, and write to a file (should generally be faster), then later on use a scheduled task (or some other alternative outside of CF) to read the file into the database.
