the local server session and use it in your .lc scripts.

If I'm completely misunderstanding what you wish to do, of course ignore
this.

Session-specific data is not an issue. The concern is not sending the data to the server. That comes in small chunks only. The concern is the data that the server needs to display the pages for users. That data transcends the sessions, meaning that it is the same for all users, although different users use different subsets of that data.

In my current setup, I fetch that data into global arrays when loading the program. By keeping that data resident, I reduce the number of calls to the database by half and in some cases up to 75%. That setup is quite old, however, and I want to upgrade it. Maybe calls to the database are not as expensive on newer systems and nothing to worry about.
