That's weird... Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I'm still stuck
at CF 4.5 for my busy production sites so my suggestions may be wrong
for MX.  As far as I know the same service/process/whatever that manages
the queue deals with monitoring the timeouts - so if the queue is still
loading then the service that timeouts out unresponsive threads should
be working too.

I'm sure you've already said it, but what DB driver are you using?
Native or ODBC Bridge?

I really doubt that... As far as I understand it IIS provides the CGI
variable set as part of it's "handoff" to JRUN.  I doubt that JRUN
itself is calling anything at the system level for that - but IIS would
be (but I can't see this as being a problem - at the very least
HTTP_HOST HAS to be cached...)

I don't think it's as "formal" as a full request for Caching - however
the CF Scheduler definitely does run behind the scenes and consumes a
thread.  Any tasks running?

Well - that's definitely suspect at least... If you have a comparable
test server you might want to run some load tests to see if you can
replicate the problem with and without the CFFORM you were using.

My gut says that the whole CFFORM tag can't be a problem (or else we'd
have heard it from somebody else by now) but perhaps it and something
else or an oddity with the way the form was constructed?

In any case it's definitely worth checking out DLLHOST and see what it's
responsibilities to CFMX are (if any).

Sorry I haven't been much help.
