You could also cfexecute a batch file (w/ 0 timeout) to generate the output.
This is done by calling the shell CF interpretter... cfml.exe on NT? (*nix
person myself). There's no user wait w/ a 0 timeout but the process will run
until completion.
Or if you could wait 15min you could use cfschedule to create a run once
task.

Subject: Realtime Background Task
We are currently using CF 4.5.1 on NT. I have an application where a user
inputs data into a form and submits the form to another page that enters the
data into the database. What I want to do is at the same time as the data
to going into the database, I also want the data to be sent to a totally
separate page in the background. If I use CFHTTP the user can’t continue
until the CFHTTP is complete. I don’t want the user to wait because they
don’t need a response from the background page. I just want to send the
data and not retrieve anything back. Is there a tag or code I can use to
perform this function?
TIA
Calvin
P.S. The background page is performing several queries. The query results
are then used to create a text file. We don't want the user to have to wait
for the text file to be created.
