Intermitten problems like this are always hard to track down.  It
sounds like what you're doing is really straight-forward, so here are
some suggestions/questions:

* Have you gone through the CF and particularly the SQL code to make
sure it's as efficient as it can be?
* What kind of hardware is it running on?
* Is it strictly a load/hardware issue or can it sometimes flake out
with a low number of users?
* Is the database running on a separate physical server than the CF server?
* If the database and CF are on separate servers, what's the
connectivity between them?  Internal to a datacenter or does it go
across the internet?

9 times out of 10 if it isn't load/hardware related, the culprit is
going to be the database performance.  First check your queries then
evaluate the hardware setup to see if there are any bottlenecks there.
 Then you might try a different driver for the database--I've seen
some extremely nice speed improvement in some cases when using the
jTDS driver for SQL Server as opposed to Microsoft's, for example. 
Which MySQL driver are you using?  What version of CF is this running
on?
