The data stored is specific to a CFC class. So while I might have over a hundred instances of "cfc_Depressedpress.Framework.DP_Session" I only have one metadata cache for all of them. Also building the metadata can be time-consuming the first time through while referencing a memory-cache is insignificant. Basically using the variables scope would just be to slow and wasteful. However there is a reference to the metadata cache in each CFC's variables scope.
