New in CF5 is CFFLUSH - which might also provide some promise in getting

Subject: Background processing
One of my co-developers came up with an interesting idea. There are some
things that can take a while to process, like metadata updates, workflow
updates, etc. These things combined take a few seconds to run. Now, to
increase the page speed from a user's point of view these things can be
run 'in the background' using the following hack.
The .cfm that is executing performs a CFHTTP to another template on the
same server that does all the time-consuming bits. The CFHTTP has a
timeout of one second (I tried CFHTTP with timeout=0, that did not appear
to have the desired effect. :)
This should work, but I have some moral reservations. :) Has anyone else
toyed with this sort of thing?
Cheers
Michiel
