title: SQLServer vs StateServer for ASP.NET Session State Performance
body: <p>I'm studying for a MS certification and one of the practice tests I'm doing has a question where the point of contention is the performance between storing the session in SQL Server as opposed to StateServer.</p>
  
  <p>Given the app is running in a web farm, which solution for session state gives the best performance (SQL Server or StateServer) and most importantly, why?</p>
