More than anything, it allowed us to monitor the memory usage, watch the long-running threads, and figure out what pages were the problem. There were a number of pages that we addressed, but it turned out to be one specific page that was the main culprit.
For us, it turned out to be a call to the activeMail tag, where we were passing a query of 10,000 emails to the tag in one push. This was maxing out the memory on the box, crashing the jvm, and hanging coldfusion. We had a number of other lists going out, number in the 5K range, and they worked fine (although they ate up memory like mad), but there was a magic threshold of about 7400 that would hang the system every time. We rewrote the mailer to send the mail in batches of 1K at a time, and now it is purring like a kitten.
