RE: [PHP] sessions and objects

Why is this good design? If I create a user object, populate it, kill the connection to the database (or return it to the pool) and cache the object then I can retrieve it any time I want without having to hit the database. Not arguing, just curious as to your perspective.

Store a lookup value, then grab your object from your DB only when you need it.
