Minimize your use of session variables and application variables. Use cookies instead, if you can.

Granting that users turn cookies on that would be the best bet. But you can't go wrong with session("variables&quot

Can't you Set your sessions as nothing at the end of the page?

And Dim all your vairiables, and set those as nothing at the end of the page.

Check out the following link:

In this reading, I recommend using hidden variable to maintain state. Though its tedious to write, it would pretty work fine rather than using Session or Application variables.

Tips:
a)Make sure you collect your garbage at the end of a program or procedure.
b) allocate resources late and deallocate as soon as you finish using them.
c)avoid manipulating recordset after response.write,
an sqlrs.getrows assigned to an array and manipulating that multidimensional array before any response would greatly improve performance.
d) Avoid using Session and application variables as much as you can.
e) Avoid using dictionaries and fso as much as you can. If you are good enough at SQL, a combination of bcp and sql is extremely faster than fso.
f)If you want to check size of your application, check out dllhost.exe and inetinfo on your task manager in the iis server.
