 comment Migrating My Sites to new dedicated site host
That's an interesting thought. I guess one thing to remember would be that it would only work if all the My Sites would fit into a single content DB (e.g. less than 100GB or whatever 'threshold' is being used) using quota x number of My Sites. Still, perhaps the approach could be used with multiple content DBs..

 comment Where is the SharePoint object cache stored??
Yep, agreed that's the reason the other worker processes were cleared down. One slight clarification I'd add to James' comment would be that a specific app pool recycle would clear the object cache for all web apps running in that app pool - could be more than one.

That's a good point, 'SiteUrl' isn't a valid token.

 comment SharePoint 2007 search - custom keyword search
Aha - OK if that's the deal then I know how to proceed. Extremely useful info, thanks Stu. I also spent some time in Reflector, but mainly 'around' SearchResultHiddenObject rather than in it - just had a look and it is indeed the key. Also noticed the PATH/URL switch etc. :)

 comment Defining using xml a content type, custom column and list instance in single feature
Absolutely. Difficult-to-track-down issues can happen if things are not correctly scoped.

 comment How to delete webparts from my site on creation
Then your code should be fine. I'm using this exact pattern myself in the framework Steve Peschka describes in the article on the SharePoint blog (referenced by Anders below). Also, you are running under elevated privileges yep?

 comment Has the deployment of resource files and site maps been improved in SharePoint 2010
If you have different Features (presumably you're outputting different WSPs), you could manually add 'App_GlobalResourceFile' into your Feature elements files though. Not sure if that helps.

 comment ULS Log event email notification
Hmm, not necessarily. It would come down to what retention you specify for both (SP logs + Windows event logs). Also I'm pretty sure MOM helps by giving an aggregated view of entries across different sources for a particular point in time.
