I know you do not any to but use a DB - it will be far faster and more efficient.
You could make the DB sync seamless to the user -they wouldn't even know it was happening. ColdFusion is pretty poor at large file manip.

I have 2 frequently updated files of around 15MB and 3MB, and don't want to import it into a database every time it changes. How efficiently can CF7 query a large file like that? Can I do calculations, filtering, etc. similar to a database query? Any other suggestions on how I might accomplish this? Thanks.
