	8	There are a number of reasons that can cause a Model-Glue site to perform poorly -- here are a couple of common pitfalls to be avoided:
	9
	10	If your site is running in production, be sure to confirm that the ''reload'' setting in your !ColdSpring.xml file is set to "false", as otherwise your application will be completely reloaded on every request, resulting in a large performance hit.
	11
	12	In any application that makes heavy use of CFCs, including the Model-Glue framework, there are a couple of settings in the !ColdFusion administrator that can heavily degrade performance if enabled.
	13
	14	The first of these can be found under Debugging & Logging > Debug Output Settings -- make sure that the Report Execution Times option is '''unchecked'''. If Request Debugging Output is enabled, the Report Execution Times setting will greatly increase the processing time of any application using CFCs.
	15
	16	The second area of concern is the Server Monitor that is included with the Enterprise version of !ColdFusion 8 and higher. When monitoring is enabled, turning on the Memory Tracking option will result in an '''enormous''' slowdown, particularly in applications that use many CFCs. Be sure not to enable this in production, and use it judiciously (and temporarily) even in development.
