These are good questions and I'm glad you bring them up. Shared Hosting is always problematic for pretty much any application, mostly because any of the other 1000 applications on the server could be hogging more than their fair share of server resources.
Shared Hosting is like the Wild Wild West. There are really no rules governing what happens. If there is a misbehaving application on the server, it affects everyone. Infinite loops, inappropriate caching, bad code, all this stuff is on the server you are on and will cause problems at one time or another. There really isn't much you can do under a shared hosting model. One option might be to go back t a Virtual Private Server. As you know, a VPS has fractioned server resources and provides boundaries from other applications on the server. This means a runaway application on another VPS will not affect your VPS, even if both VPSs are on the same server. This usually costs a little more than a shared hosting account, but delivers more value because your applications function better from a regulated environment. I can say there are hundreds of folks running Model Glue 3 on shared hosting. Most likely this is the result of a server misconfiguration, possibly with debugging or server monitoring, or with another application running on the server, overconsuming resources. Having Report Execution Times turned on will be bloody murder on a CFC based application. Having Memory Tracking on (even if the server monitor is off) can supposedly severely impede an OO based application. However CrystalTech are good hosts and have been hosting OO based ColdFusion applications for years, so I'm sure they know this.
