What are the problems associated with sessions? Is it reduces the 

application performance? Is it use server memory? 

I'd really look in the archives for this list as well as other lists on p2p.

We have talked about it Ad-Nauseum.



I will give you the summary- they whys and whatfors your going to have to

look for in the archives.



1. Server Variables are only stored in the server memory. 

 a. Webfarms can not truly load balance.

 b. A failover cluster will loose user information at failover.

 c. lots more

2. Since server Variables are in server memory, they can impact the

performance of the web server if it is low on memory.

3. Objects (like ADO) should never be instantiated on anything but the page

level. It makes for easier development but kills performance.

4. Lots more- read the archives.
