I noticed that our webserver would only have minor performance
problems due to a large registry until the size of the registry
hit some critical point (I think it was 25 megs or so?  I forget
the exact number...)  Once the registry hit that size, CF would
just hang or serve pages up at a crawl on startup and at somewhat
regular intervals.  I had to manually clean up the registry file
on a weekly basis to prevent serious site slowdowns.

If you're on *nix, the registry file is here by default:
/opt/coldfusion/registry/cf.registry

I've sinced moved the registry to the database (*whew!*)
