Unless I am missing something I think you are adding complexity without identifying the root cuase of the problem.
Have you dumped debug information to see what is taking the time? Assuming file access is fast I am guessing it may be the cfc performing the image processing. Our CMS displays image width, height, file size for images with not significant delay irrespective of the image size. We are using the image cfc from Rick Root - http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc/. Seems to me that off-loading this to a separate process and then emailing users later is not ideal - far easier for the user to fix the problem immediately while they are busy with the task than have to go back and revisit it later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
