There are a number of pretty useful DBCC Commands that have nothing to do with checking the consistency of a database (and thus were probably not written by Paul Randal).  I have put together a few of them in the script below.  The first command is the only one that I consider to be somewhat “dangerous”, in that it will completely flush the contents of your “clean’ buffer cache, which will cause a lot of stress on your I/O subsystem as the buffer cache is refilled from disk. Depending on your workload, this might take a few minutes to happen, during which time you would see a performance impact.

-- Clears out contents of buffer cache
-- Use caution before doing this on a production system!
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS;
-- Clears procedure cache on entire SQL instance
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE;
-- Remove the specific plan from the cache using the plan handle
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE (0x060006001ECA270EC0215D05000000000000000000000000);
-- Clear ad-hoc SQL plans for entire SQL instance
DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE('SQL Plans'); 
-- Clears TokenAndPermUserStore cache on entire SQL instance
DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE ('TokenAndPermUserStore');
-- Releases all unused cache entries from all caches. ALL specifies all supported caches
-- Asynchronously frees currently used entries from their respective caches after they become unused
DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE ('ALL') WITH MARK_IN_USE_FOR_REMOVAL;
-- Determine the id of the current database
-- and flush the procedure cache for only that database
DECLARE @intDBID AS INT = (SELECT DB_ID());
DBCC FLUSHPROCINDB (@intDBID);
-- Clear Wait Stats for entire instance
DBCC SQLPERF('sys.dm_os_wait_stats', CLEAR);
-- Get VLF count for transaction log for the current database,
-- number of rows equals VLF count. Lower is better!
DBCC LOGINFO;
-- Returns lots of useful information about memory usage
DBCC MEMORYSTATUS;
-- Find oldest open transaction
DBCC OPENTRAN;
-- Get input buffer for a SPID
DBCC INPUTBUFFER(21);
-- Check trace status for instance
DBCC TRACESTATUS(-1)
