Thats exactly write, but what you are saying is that every time I want
to interact with an object I have to read io or right? not memory. And
say my project has good 70 objects, some of them very large, and a 1000
users concurently browsing. So in theory every time a user loads a page
I have to load some or all of those? Times the number of users... and
you are saying there isnt a performance hit involved? You must be kidding.

No, I want if you took the time to read my post with abit less gusto,
you would understand that my question is: "How can I have two or more
users using the same object at the same time?"

Should have thought that even a humarous approach to a reasonable
question would be met with hostility and anger. It's a news group after
all. And yes, I have written alot of large scale applications.
