Unfortunately I don't have a choice, in this case, but on the other hand I have a relatively well-educated (read well-lectured by me) user who does it. I have just been getting some strange behaviour from it that looks like it's dying because the user's network connection is a little dodgy atm... I'll keep looking for solutions then! :(

Thats the kind of task that they might be able to schedule to run, but never let them hit a "GO" button on this task. They can and do click on that go button over and over because its not finished in 30 seconds. Each time they click on that button CF will start trying to process that page.
