Unfortunately that's exactly what you need to do - experiment -
because the optimal values change depending on what you're doing.

Of course, experimenting on Live servers is bad, which is why you have
staging/test server(s) which are as close to exact duplicates as
possible (without actually being public). And most importantly this
would be configured to point at a dummy mail server which just
discards the emails so you can keep testing safely.

If you have that setup, you can experiment by changing figures a bit
at a time and make notes to determine what works best for you.
(Tools like FusionReactor or CF's Server Monitor can help with
checking memory usage and seeing when Garbage Collection occurs.)

Though at the same time, be careful with CF Server Monitor -
particularly if Profiling is enabled, but even without that, I've seen
problems caused by it simply being active on a live website server -
remember it's a debugging tool, and should not be left turned on for
Live servers.

I assume you meant cfdump there?

In any case, what you didn't explicitly say is that debug settings are
definitely disabled, which is important to ensure.
Not just at the page/code level with cfsetting, but specifically in
administrator, otherwise they are still active even if not used.

Go into CF admin, to the debug section, and make sure all the
checkboxes are unticked.
