It is more if the amount of data in the variables then the number of variables.

But yes session variables can have a performance impact. > Secondly, when others on the list build apps, what criteria do you use > when determining when and where to use session vars? I use session liberally because they are simple and handy. But I work on low load corporate intranet applications almost exclusively. If you are developing the next 'My Space', even a small amount of data repeated millions of times will have an appreciable impact and will need to be accounted for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316423 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
