"I would try and find a way to store references to my data instead of the data itself."
Surely that defeats the purpose, no? The data is either in a DB/text file/some remote place, the reference to it would be the least thing you'd change if you wanted to cache anything. What do you think? Ade -----Original Message----- From: Bryan F.

It will depend on the amount of memory you have on your machine. I don't think it is wise though to stuff data other than simple variables or CFC objects.

I'm working on a rewrite of the events/news schedule for our company's website and was thinking of storing all of the data in the Application scope to be reloaded every X minutes. My question is whether it would be bad from a scaling or resource usage point-of-view to do this? I would probably be storing a few megabytes of data, not a huge amount IMHO.
