Stut mentioned a little while back that he avoids using the built-in session

Finally found time to finish the article, sorry for the delay... http://stut.net/articles/sessionless_sessions.html Constructive criticism welcome. <me> Good one, but how about CPU Load? Did it increase much? </me>

Not really. The is far more more memory and network-bound than CPU-bound. It's not an excessively strong cipher so I doubt it has much effect at all, especially when compared to the expense of fetching from a DB server. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
