Re: caching: Session state or Application state...

ok thanks john - the more I look at this the more I think that
Application State will be more efficient in my case.

There's still one key piece of info I'm missing though - and that is:
*exactly* when is memory made available in these two scenarios - and
how efficient are the processes that do the freeing - (ok that's two
points..)

you say "immediately" for Application state - but that seems unlikely
unless there is a resource intensive process doing some very close
monitoring. More likely I'd say is that there is a periodic monitoring
process - that runs ...say...every 5 secs or so - but I can find no
info on the exact mechanism. It's possible there is an event based
system that does as you say - it'd be great to learn more in this
case....

ok - thanks again for your help.
O.
