If you're doing log-file processing it can be a REAL performance boon to use a Java File Streamer rather than CFFILE (which brings the entire file into memory).
Also using Java directly will let you do things like get the height and width of an image programmatically. You've also got full access to the raw socket layer for those few times in life when you need it. Full access to the Java Encryption libraries is also very handy. Basically there's loads of stuff that you might need infrequently that Java, but not CF, provides.
