I think it's because that if you make an object in a session object, then you have to remember to clean out that object or your stuck waiting for the timeout of the session. If you just use local variables in your ASP code, then the object SHOULD be cleaned out when the page load is done, or when it hits an "SET object = NOTHING" line.

If someone hit your site and an object was created in a session, then they leave without going through the proper exit routine to clean out the object, that object is in there for the timeout period (default 20 mins).

That may not be a bad thing for a small or even medium site. However, programming "DO's and DON'T" tend to be universal. "If you wouldn't do it on a BIG site, don't do it in a SMALL site..."

That's what I've heard in the past of this subject. There could be more reasons.
