Well, there just isn't much yet to find. That's the problem of being an
early adopter, isn't it?
You can disable RDS by removing this from /WEB-INF/web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Personally, though, I'd also want to configure my web server to refuse
requests for /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm, which is the URL always requested by
Studio when making RDS connections.
You can probably just disable graphing by removing this from the same file:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GraphServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>GraphServlet</display-name>
<description>Serves up graph data</description>
<servlet-class>coldfusion.graph.GraphServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
I haven't tested that, though. In either case, I suspect there aren't any
performance gains to be had, since I don't think that CF MX will load these
servlets up until needed (although I could very well be wrong about that).
