Description
Concerns have been raised about Boost's side-effects on the site's behaviour, logging and server. I therefore propose:
1) Disable Boost
2) Install Cache Router http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter with File back end to start with
3) Enable, test, disable, test, compare
4) Confer/decide with Chris & Charles to see which other back end cache they recommend (though file works brilliantly on 3 sites for me) from APC, Memcache or Memcached
5) Enable tweaks, test
6) Uninstall Boost (or possibly re-enable it for any data-heavy pages that are hit a lot, though realistically we'd be better going with Varnish instead)
This will give us a faster, greener, better website with no Boost-related side effects...

CacheRouter? now configured and running.
Would be nice to do some benchmarks with and without...
Site *seems* faster though.
putting to critical to get it done - proceed with this - further to a chat with charles gaiahost, we agreed that better communications between tn and gaia would go a long way - as much of the work done to optimise phase 1 was beating head against wall (my words)
