Importing a Text File to Database

Question

Hi There,
Years ago with limited Coldfusion experience I created a Cold fusion process (below) that deletes the contents of a database table and inserts the contents of a 7mb text file which is passed via FTP down to our web server at regular intervals. Admittingly the code below is probably clunky to the more experienced, however i have found this process to work for the last 4 years without a problem. Recently my web server (shared hosted environment) has been throwing this error when this page runs,
"Request aborted due to heavy system load.",
I asked my host if there has been any changes, extra sites recently added to the server that may be causing this congestion which they naturally replied "no". I even tried reducing the text file size to about 3mb but still got the same issue. Is there any other more efficient coldfusion code options I can try that may be quicker and prevent the error from being thrown?
Im on Coldfusion 7 and using MS SQL server, database and coldfusion are on differnt boxes in a shared environment.The text file can contain null values and is delimeted by a pipe character "|"
Any help appreciated

But now OP will not really grateful to you; because;
1.You are not going to perform/import the data at his machine.
2.You have not given him the required control file.... (even without knowning anything)
3.You have given only SQL Loader word; so now "oaf... i have to read Doc.."
