Hi Kai, Thanks for your suggestions.
Regarding FusionReactor - we actually purchased a licence for this last year, however it seemed to have such a negative performance impact on the server to the point where we had to switch it off because we were having to restart the CF service a few times a day as it was just grinding to a complete halt. Is there any benefit putting it on our development environment instead? We did have this at one stage and I could possibly get it put back on, but our host only gave me the "observer" login. Would that be enough or would I need higher permissions for it to be useful? If so what kind of info would we be looking for? Long running request/SQLs for example?
