Ajas, Whether you use cfhttp or not, you can use cfthread to make sure a dependency order exists. With cfthread, you probably would not need a sleep if set it up that the next thread cannot start until the first one finishes.
I have not tried to just create a loop of threads over and over. I am sure it would work, but you would have to look at the how long each thread takes versus how many iterations of your loop and test the performance around your approach. I favor threads for predictable number of executions or some sort of one-off parallel execution. If you put the document creation logic in a UDF or CFC, loop around the function call as the function call will have to complete before the next loop starts. Otherwise, you will either need a sleep() or some programmatic approach that will indicate when a document creation has been completed before the next iteration of document creation. Pseudo code: <cfloop ...> <cfset myUDForCFC.createDoc(argumentCollection=...) /> </cfloop> Hopefully that answered some portion of your question. Teddy R.
