What is it that you are trying to do with the 50,000 records?  Surely you
won't be displaying that to a browser? If so, your putting an awful load on
CF (looping over 50,000 records).  Also, your browser would most likely be
the entity that is timing out, not CF.  CF will keep churning away until the
task is completed (which would explain the eating up of resources).

A query that returns 50,000 records should be a piece of cake for a robust
database like SQL Server or Oracle (assuming proper design and indexing
etc).  However, its not practical to attempt to format and display such a
large volume of data using a browser and Cold Fusion (or any other language
for that matter).
