Just so that I can discuss this intelligently:
1) Serving up an RSS would take less (little to none) processing by CF. 
Correct?
2) Could we move the RSS generation to the caching code? Is that where

3) Are there any file access concerns to be considered when writing an 
actual RSS file to the app's root?
