Re: Overwhelming a Web Application Server

what I warned about at the start of the thread, we're "fixing" the
problem w/out actually measuring where the problem is. Yes, I know this
is all from a user-point of view anyway, since you don't have access to
the server in this case, but even if you did... we've latched onto
session as an issue, and in fact the issue may be as simple as a poorly
indexed database. After all, all databases are fast when there's one
user and 100 rows.

I disagree :) We discuss how to maintain session state for a number of users without risking running out of memory faster than absolutely necessary which is a nice, theoretical and enlightening subject!

If this had anything to do with a here-and-now problem, we would naturally have gotten lots of profiling data to discuss how to interpret properly :-D
