The point is that an over-large registry *significantly* increases that odds
of a registry-related failure, and write actions are the worst. Since we
identified this issue, we haven't had a single problem with corruption of
the registry. If you get the client vars out of it, most of the access is
read, not write, which actually causes nearly nill action, since as near as
I can tell, the registry is read into memory when CF fires up. If you've got
client vars in it, every time CF serves a page, a write occurs, updating the
last-access time for the client var.

sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems)
Well, yeah, using client variables in the registry certainly won't help, but
the point is that the registry on Solaris is fubar (we won't get into NT.)
I'm not saying everyone should start refreshing their registry every day...
I'm saying that it's not difficult at all to find yourself with a very big
registry corruption problem, and there's precious little you can do to stop
it, other than avoiding the registry like the plague.
I'm sure we could all sit here and tell stories about CF's erratic behavior
on Solaris for days. ;)

(Now I wonder if there's a coorelation between the traffic Solaris sites
experience vs. NT sites and the number of gaping errors...)
