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
