Kym, I would warn anyone to think twice about your recommendation to "Watch
the memory tracking in the server monitor in CF admin and maybe you can get
a clue." 

As much as I do love the CF Server Monitor for some things (and wrote a
4-part guide to using it, over 20 pages on the Adobe Dev Center, starting at
http://www.carehart.org/articles/#2007_2), the "memory tracking" is one
feature to be very cautious about. It's the one feature where the monitor
can actually hurt. Not everyone, mind you: I've worked with some shops that
had it enabled and had no problem.

But I've worked with others for whom THAT was what was hurting them, and
simply turning it off stopped the madness. Indeed, when someone says
"nothing has changed", they are rarely ever considering the prospect that
that feature was turned on. In fact, some turn it on (or all 3 "Start"
buttons), and may go "eh" if they don't see it helping, and close the
monitor...thinking, "if it's not open, there's no impact". 

That's not true: the monitor is just a flex app that shows info being
gathered by CF. It doesn't matter whether you have it "open" or not: the CF
server is gathering the info based on those "start" buttons, whether you
ever open the Admin again (and in fairness, the "alerts" feature is also
still running then in the background and providing value, which may be
enhanced by any of those buttons having been enabled. In fact, you MUST use
the "start monitoring" button for the alerts to at least fire at all.)

Hope that's helpful.
