RE: Best Practice: pinning objects

I partially agree, but I don't really have a lot of experience with it. My understanding though is that the purpose of pinning is not so much to improve performance by keeping it in memory, rather it is to prevent fragmentation of your shared pool from frequently moving large objects in and out. I've never had problems with memory fragmentation though (maybe just lucky?) so I've never needed to pin anything.
