i just told apache to ignore the outside world for a couple minutes, 
restarted coldfusion, 'warmed it up', and ran another mini benchmark on 
w.e.o.

i changed to blockfactor on our front page building query to values 
between 1 and 100, incrememnting by 5, and loaded each blockfactor value 
3 times. (so for a blockfactor of 5 it was loaded 3 times, 50 it was 
loaded 3 times) took the average of those three results and heres what i 
came up with:

bf = 1 : 3260ms
bf = 5 : 2997ms
bf = 10 : 3154ms
bf = 15 : 3055ms
bf = 20 : 3215ms
bf = 25 : 2963ms
bf = 30 : 3013ms
bf = 35 : 2917ms
bf = 40 : 2923ms
bf = 45 : 3051ms
bf = 50 : 2998ms
bf = 55 : 2917ms
bf = 60 : 3083ms
bf = 65 : 3071ms
bf = 70 : 3017ms
bf = 75 : 2981ms
bf = 80 : 2893ms
bf = 85 : 2971ms
bf = 90 : 2969ms
bf = 95 : 2958ms
cf = 100 : 3068ms

a range between 70 - 100 or 35-45 looks to be best.

anyways.
