I think what you have to think about is in using the Application object, you
are giving the entire web-app scope to those values being stored. This has
potential threading problems if more than one thread is to access them for
writing purposes..but reading from multiple threads is fine.
For performance, it may actually be faster only because you are not creating
the objects for each new session. However, it all depends on the context in
which they are being used. I prefer to use Application scope for items that
are used throughought the app and have no relation to specific users
(sessions).
