Rails - Jan 2006 - db access or @session?

Does it make sense to use the @session to store some values instead of
accessing the db on each request?
I am trying to optimize the most accessed area, a page that every visitor
would access hundreds of times daily.

Thanks,
Bogdan

You should look into caching to enhance performance, rather than
storing everything in the session.
