Thanks Mark, It seemed a combination of breaking up the tasks into smaller tasks and running the schedule through Win2K's task scheduler instead of Cold Fusions seemed to do the trick and now the machines are purring like a well oiled kitten (Hmmm something sounded funny about that).

If you have the CF thread limit set low (like to the default of 5) and this script is taking a very long time to process, you could find yourself running out of available threads very quickly with the script being executed every minute. Try upping the thread limit to maybe 20, just to test this scenario and see does CF stay afloat. How you solve the problem long term is up to you, but I'd recommend looking at how you can break up the processing in that script and run it less frequently. You could also consider re-writing the script in another language and running it independent of CF server (if this is possible). As far as i know, the cfml executable which you can use to run CF scripts on the command line does still require CF server so running the CF script on the command line won't help.
