The analogy here is that a BMW is faster than a VW Beetle but not when they are both going at 20Mph. >> I generally use the session scope Since 98% of our applications will never be run in a cluster I too use session scope even with the locking issues involved in CF5.x. (We are a bit behind the curve and CF5.x "ain't broke" for us.) Like anything it is a matter matching the methodology to the application. Just because one is "technically" faster than the other does not mean that one is "better" than the other, unless the application calls for it.
