actually i have seen large files or large multi-file set uploads cause coldfusion to go right to 100% CPU usage. usually after 15 minutes or so you'll get a winnt error returned about "unable to write file" or some other bs. our machines usually start hating around 40 megs using cf and apache. sometimes less using cf and iis. the truth is that CFFILE uploads, at least on windows boxes, are very poor performance and are not a good choice for large volume file-upload applications. there is actually nothing you can do about it except weep and then implement your user file-uploads some other way (like through asp, or java). maybe cf5 handles it better; i dunno. maybe if macromedia came out with their own webserver they could fix it. we use software artisans 'sa-fileup' to handle our file uploads in large volumes in excess of 200 megs with no problem. you can even build a progress meter and stuff. of course you'll need to use asp or some other com-integrated platform to use sa-fileup.
