It is possible that the delay could occur while processing a single CF tag, therefore, you would have no way of "touching" a session variable.
For example, the session timeout is 5 minutes. On the page, you have a CFFILE tag that save a huge amount of data to a text file. It could take 7 minutes to save the file. By the time the CFFILE tag completes, the session has expired. There is no way to "hook" into the CFFILE tag and have it restart the session timer. I just wonder if the session timer is reset after EVERY session variables read/write or only once when the page is requested/completed. There is probably an easy way of testing this by setting a session variable, sleeping the thread for several minutes (to let the session timeout), then trying to read the same session variable and see if it still exists.

As developers do we have access to these session variables? If so why not just update them manually every so often during page processing? You could also over ride the system time out with a cfsetting tag for these specific pages since you know they may run long.
