I'd rather Cold Fusion parse through the HTM/HTML files. How is this done
via CF Server?

In my opinion...
Unless you have a huge amount of html files and are running other web sites
on the same server, this won't be a big performance concern.
Also, remember, that if you have more than 1 virtual site on the server, you
can configure the applicable site to process htm and html files through the
ColdFusion server, so only that site will be processing the files through
CF.
To use server side includes will not offer that much of a performance gain
since the ssinc.dll must then process the html files as well (by default it
is mapped to .shtm, .shtml and .stm files). So you'd be stuck in having the
ssinc.dll process the files vs. having ColdFusion's iscf.dll do the work.
Changing file extensions is not really dangerous. Many sites use their own
custom extensions. If portability is not a concern then go ahead and do it.
Of course you can always rename the files and change the mappings back to
the way they were in IIS.
