I haven't personally delved into persistence, but the following seems to
make sense.

PERSISTENT FOR:                           WHERE TO STORE:
awake-respond-sleep of this transaction   in the transaction
several transactions this session         in the session
the user across several sessions          in something keyed by user
not user specific                         in a module global

Saving data in the Page instance may be reliable, but it runs the risk
that the info will leak into a future unrelated transaction if servlet
caching is on.  If you religiously initialize your variables in .awake()
and blank them out in .sleep(), this is presumably a non-issue, assuming
no exception happens during .awake() and .sleep() that bypasses your
initializations.

My preference is to put everything in module variables unless it has a
good reason to go elsewhere.
