Of course, the alternative to this is that you could have the action page perform "cleanup" routines when the session is near it's expiration. The irony is that in cleaning up the dying session. By including a <cfapplication> tag with a short session timeout value I suspect you might be able to prevent it from extending the lifespan of the dying session as well...
