True, but that's effectively storing them as a string, and serializing /
de-serializing it isn't exactly fast.

You actually *can* store complex variables in Client scope using WDDX.
Just my little pipe-in for the day!

Couple of negatives with session variables : they barf in a clustered
environment, hence your application is not scalable. They eat up memory, so
an application with many users eats up all your ram impeding performance.
Couple of negatives with client variables : They don't hold complex
variables, (you can't store a query set in them ). By default they depend on
cookies or you must pass the cfid and cftoken from page to page.
I wouldn't say one is better then the other, I would say they serve
different purposes....
