Russ, This use to be a huge problem in CF 6 and to a lesser extent CF 7 (probably related to Java 1.4). But as of CF 8 the penalty for instantiation is very slight once the class is compiled. So I have flip-flopped a little bit on this. I used to use a singleton approach and stuff everything in the app scope. But now I'm more judicious and only put things in there that demonstrate a slow instantiation issue.

If you have a rarely used ADMIN section, then this wont be an issue for for you if they are invoked every time you use them, so I wouldn't make any more work for yourself unnecessarily.
