My last workplace had 2 CF servers (Windows, hardware load-balanced), with traffic of around 1m query-generated page views per day. A lot of the leg-work was performed by MS SQL in the background, but the CF servers held up very well. They only really needed a restart if the traffic went absolutely crazy, and half the time it was IIS causing trouble rather than CF.
