I'd be curious to understand why this is so. Could it be that TRUE is really
held in memory as minus one (?) and so a tiny conversion is going on?

Thank god! What would Hal give lectures on if FuseDocs actually inhibited
execution performance. ? :)

hmm. Well, without CFLOCK or with it?  If SESSIONs can be faster than CLIENT
absent CFLOCK then does the test cover enough to kick in locking problems? A
lost SESSION variable can be as fast as it wants since it is otherwise
useless :)

> 4. application variables are slow as nuts (locked or not)

oh, damn, this explains a LOT of issues :)  I got an app that is
APPLICATION-heavy, but only 5-10 users use it. This explains why it moves
like molases.

yes, and I'm laughing all the way to the Bank about it :)

keep up the good comments, this was some thought-inspiring performance stats
to keep on a back burner and thought about!
