I very much agree with Andrew. Making a blanket statement like "the request scope is a memory killer" simply isn't valid. Like any programming tool, the request scope can be used for good, or for evil. Copying everything and the kitchen sink into the request scope with each pagecall? Yeah, of course that's gonna suck down memory. The fact that Spectra uses the request scope and that Spectra performs slow at times in no way leads to the blanket conclusion that the request scope is a bad thing to use. Like any application, any technology, any tool, you have to know how to best use it. Abuse it, and it will not work the way it should. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.1035.232 f.770.460.0963 -- http://www.neighborware.com America's Leading Community Network Software ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own 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=coldfusionb 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
