This is very interesting as it is a technique I currently use, any idea why there is such a performance hit?

I would expect the performance hit to decrease as the quantity/size/complexity of the information being copied decreased. However, we have switched entirely away from the copy method and did not test any point in between "copy insane amount of data" and "no copying, lock everything". The case in my example was a "worst case" because of the large amount of data we had been storing in the Application scope, but it's a great example that a slowdown does actually exist and is not just theoretical. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.1035.232 f.770.460.0963 -- http://www.neighborware.com America's Leading Community Network Software ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
