While there are lots of people having problems with CFMX/JRun, I suspect
they're a small minority.

While I doubt that the problem is related to your web server, you may want
to try disabling IIS and using the built-in JRun web server, just to see if
that changes anything. But before doing that, read on ...

In my experience, most CFMX/JRun stability problems are caused by database
driver issues. Several of our clients ran into severe stability issues that
were resolved by using different database drivers. What database are you
using? Have you installed the very latest database driver patch from MM
(released earlier this week)?

Macromedia DataDirect Connect for JDBC driver update:

pu.htm (installation instructions)
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/coldfusion/drivers/3.3/macromedia_drivers
.zip (direct link to drivers)

If those don't work for you, you may want to try your database vendor's JDBC
driver:

Microsoft JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000:

use JDK 1.4-compliant drivers)
