I think things like faster cfmail are good to have in a shared hosting environment. There you end up with a lot of small or perhaps medium sized applications where each does a decent amount of email that cfmail is more than capable of handling. It all ends up adding up on the server itself though which is where the added performance would help out. Same logic could be applied to the other features that see a boost in performance with the Enterprise. Now if it all equals out to a better buy than just buying a few copies of professional that I do not know. I also do not know how the licensing works and if you can just get one copy of Enterprise and put it on one big box and run many instances of that copy of Enterprise on there, if so then that would be another possible reason to get it over multiple copies of Pro. So while 99% of the sites individually may not benefit by themselves, a lot perhaps could if all in the same shared hosted environment. With all that said we run enterprise because of Oracle and honestly the cost of enterprise for this company is like a drop in the old bucket or perhaps even swimming pool.
