This is on solaris, so no to the windows questions. Without getting into why we cant do this in Java, I'll just say we can't. Binary was provided to us for decryption with no instructions on how to use it otherwise. It is very convoluted. Doing a time on the binary from the terminal says it takes

Can you somehow cache the output? Is there an anti-virus product installed that scans the executable upon loading? If this is a windows box, a rude estimate of "OS level" execution time, write a batch file something like: ver|time yourprogram ver|time the time command will give you the curren

The timeout always seems to drag out the cfexecute calls. What exactly are you calling on the command line?
