Unfortunately, I don't think there is, beyond seeing whether another query
gets cached or not.

I'm one of those who suggested that amount of memory for CF 4.5.x. There
were several reasons for this. One is that, if you had any memory leaks
within any components (typically database drivers), CF 4.5.x would show you
those leaks very quickly. More physical memory means more time between
service cycling, in that unfortunate case. Another reason is that, within
heavily-used applications, a sensible strategy to improve performance is to
cache as much stuff in memory as possible, and that often consumes very
large amounts of memory, particularly if you're caching within the Session
scope.

I'd agree with you that, with CF 5, this amount of memory may not be
necessary, but in general, I prefer to err on the side of more memory than
less, since it's so cheap.
