Threading
From CEW
Threading allows you to split up your scripts and run different logic in parallel. When used properly, it can help improve performance.
Both BlueDragon 7 and ColdFusion 8 support threading, however there are differences in their implementations. BlueDragon uses separate tags, whilst ColdFusion uses a single tag with an action attribute.
