Not that I know of. Maybe get them to buy the extra RAM or fix the bad sql.
They should be willing to fix the problem; it is unlikely they actually know

where the problem is. If they act defensive then bump the problem up the
chain. Although good customer service organizations will listen nicely and
help to fix it.
