I'd go further and say actively avoid anything in CF. I can't think of a common language other than Perl that's as suited to parsing semi-regular text files. I a previous gig, we crunched stats from 12 GB (gigabytes) of web logs PER DAY (that's big in my neck of the woods) into daily stats. When we started, it took 26 hours to crunch one day of data, but once we let the perl wizards loose, we got it down to 6-8 hours and even lower (of course traffic kept picking up too...)
Point is, look for Perl-based ones. Period. Even the commercial leader (WebTrends) at least *used* to be Perl under the hood (they used the Perl exe compiler from ActiveState or somesuch in the Windows versions I used).
