No. Since the tag doesn't handle any query loops or something (you have to place it in a cfloop manually) the tag is utterly unaware of being called in a loop. Also, unless you use some sort of cf_wait tag which still eats up a thread anyway it would seriously mess up all build in caching mechanisms because they are based on the request scope. But because the tag uses a different file format handling a large amount of email should be possible (I just need to make that part failsafe, it is currently possible that something goes quite wrong there, not sending out any email at all, but I already have the code for that in one of my other customtags).
