Chad, I have never yet seen any file large enough to consume 100% CPU usage but I have seen many 100% CPU usage issues. I would say that this is almost certainly related to shared scope variable memory corruption. However, before sending off on a wild goose chase, here is what I suggest. Look in the ColdFusion logs mainly the Application and Server logs and do a search for words or strings such as "thread" "threading" "unexpected error" "p code error". If you find regular occurrences of such words and phrases you have shared-scope-variable problems. ColdFusion being a multi-threaded environment needs all shared-scope variable reads and writes to be locked using the CFLock tag. So any application. session. or server. variable settings or reads need to be locked. If you have immense site(s) with many many pages the best way to deal with this problem is again to use the logs to isolate which ColdFusion files are causing the errors and use CFLock there first.
I hope this helps.

One reason suggested to me was that large files may be getting uploaded on my server. Can anybody tell me what is considered a large file that would be capable of timing out my server? Any other suggestions about this problem would help a lot.
