I have a site that can be sometimes heavily used.  I was running around up
to 9 regular queries and a more involved findquery.  When someone would
refresh the page with the findquery on it, the cpu would spike in relation
to how fast they hit the refresh button.  When the cpu was high, the site
would be slow.

When you look at the client list in filemaker, it would show a few
connections by the fx user and one or more as having been logged in for
more than a few minutes.  Killing the connection then would make the site
fast again.

Making more fx users to reduce volume of requests per user seemed to
alleviate the problem a little.  Caching most of the queries (obviously)
fixed the problem even more.

The site couldn't be faster now.
