Wow - your second example makes me think that dotted syntax is what.... copying the variable? and the index sytax (session.var[ ]) is accessing by reference? That is too "anomalous" for me. I'd really like to get an answer from MM on that one. Makes me nervous.

I use 'Full Checking' (development server only) and find that <cfif isDefined("session.sessionid")> (No locks) does not throw an error. I like this, but is this safe? Also, <cfoutput>#Variables.session.sessionid#</cfoutput> does not throw an error but <cfoutput>#Variables.session["sessionid"]#</cfoutput> does. Isn't the second simply an alternate syntax? What's up with that?

(smile) I run my main server with Single Threaded Sessions enabled, as well as Server and Application scopes set to "Automatic read locking". I don't lock Session variables and I only lock writes for Server and Application variables. Based on very limited testing, I see no discernable performance hit and my code is a lot cleaner. The server, admittedly, does not host any extremely-high activity sites. It would be wonderful to have some definitive information from Macromedia about these options.
