Alan be reasonable, lower your thread count man!! Hee hee, just kidding. I've had the same issue as you. You can have lots of threads waiting for something to happen. In my case, a slow expensive database. In your case, cflocks or whatever. We had to raise our threads a fair bit higher than what is typically recomended to keep people from getting qued. Qued people are annoyed people. I ve surmised that a waiting thread doesnt take up much cpu time.
Basically, you have to lower you milliseconds per page. I'm usually annoyed if a page takes over 80 miliseconds to execute. But youre stuck with your file writing scheme. Hmm, just a thought, if you do cffile and write the var to your user, you can probably speed that by just cfincluding the file to the page. I think its easier on the system than cffile. Java io but I'm repeating that. Good luck.

Ok, already :-) Forget 200 - I've reset it to 96. Now, to everyone who is saying that 96 is too high my own experience of trying to keep the site running smoothly at all costs is that an SRR of 96 is *way* better than 20. This is experience of coping with overloads on a daily basis for 3 weeks or so. It does not reduce the number of times the number of running threads grows (nor does it increase it), but it does reduce dramatically the number of times that cfmx has to queue threads and the recovery when it is not queuing is much faster than when it is. With SRR set to 20 it was not unusual to have cfmx queuing 20 times a day or more. Almost every timed it queued I had to intervene. Now 2 or 3 is the norm, and the 17 other times when the thread count grows it recovers quickly without queuing. I now have to intervene once or twice a day (though unfortunately I still have to watch it like a hawk!). (By intervene I mean restrict the max number of connections in IIS down to about 300. cfmx recovers, I reset the connections to unlimited). This business about 4 threads per processor is from CF 4 days. Surely the calculation is different with cfmx, simply because it's a completely different engine?
