Hi, we use jQuery. It's very low overhead. Search for jquery-barcode online.

The code is very simple, for example this code (call it index.cfm) generates a barcode from a parameter passed to the page (URL.code) e.g. index.cfm?code=12345

<cfparam name="URL.code" default="12345">

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-barcode/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>   

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-barcode/jquery-barcode.js"></script> 

<script language="JavaScript">

function bc() {

  $('#bcTarget').barcode('<cfoutput>#Trim(URL.code)#</cfoutput>', 'code128', {barHeight:50, barWidth:1, showHRI:true, fontSize: 11});

}

</script>

</head>

<body onLoad="bc();">

<div id="bcTarget" style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"></div>

</body>

</html>

Using client-side code takes the pressure off the server a bit. There are CF barcode generators too, but they invariably end up using third party  things like ActiveX and/or JavaScript, so jQuery-barcode is worth a look.
