Is it safe and fast enough using sessions in an application? for example for
checking users level or anything.
as far as i know in asp-classic it causes compile speed reduction on
webserver. is it the same in asp.net also`?
 
First, using Session in classic ASP doesn't affect compile speed. Don't know
where you heard that. Second, like anything else in the CLR, if you use it
appropriately and correctly, it is an excellent tool. Tools aren't good or
bad. They are appropriate or inappropriate. Which is better? A hammer or a
screwdriver?

How many simultaneous users? What sort of server hardware? What's being
stored in the session?

Much is made of the performance impact of sessions, but most websites don't
get nearly enough traffic for this to be an issue.
