Well, CF has a fixed number of threads for processing requests, and
uploading a file will tie up one thread for the duration of the
upload. So, this will depend on a couple of things: the speed of
uploads, and the number of threads you can safely allocate for doing
this.

You might consider using WebDAV for file uploading. This lets the web
server handle it. I don't think you would be able to just build an
HTML form interface for this, though.
