"One more thing about the Server Monitor. It isn't just for use on live sites. You can very easily use it on your dev server to identify problems/bottlenecks in your code."
That's an excellent and potentially overlooked (by many) point! SM is enabled, if I understand correctly, in developer mode. The monitor should often be used at this stage of development on NOT in production. If you need it in production FusionReactor or SeeFusion is a great fit if you are not running Enterprise. If thats even too expensive an alternative to that is using some of the built in hooks in Java 5 and doing core dumps and what not, which generally you can find free tools to analyze. Someone had a fairly good presentation 2 years ago at cfUnited about using some of these free tools, I think he published a low cost PDF too.
