Memory leak (most likely fixed), CPU usage spikes, threading problems. I had
one server that was rendered unusable if we tried using CFFile. YMMV as it
isn't consistent (and to be honest it appears to be a Win issue as much as a
CF issue) but its problematic enough that I wouldn't use it for something
unless it was necessary.

I just happen to think its not the optimal solution. Primarily because I
think its the wrong question to be asking (based on my incomplete knowledge
of the context of the question).
And I understand that the issue is trying to solve a problem for another
user here but if the question isn't phrased correctly or is based on an
incorrect assumption isn't it better to ask them to re-evaluate their
preconceptions instead of going to lengths to solve the wrong problem?

If you have to choose the lesser of two evils then maybe its time to
think about rephrasing the question.
