Optimize Session State in MVC4

The document discusses controlling session behavior in ASP.NET MVC4. It explains that by default, ASP.NET MVC supports session state to store data across requests, but this can impact performance. The SessionState attribute provides control over session behavior by specifying an enumeration value like Disabled, ReadOnly or Required. Disabling session for controllers that don't need it can improve performance slightly. TempData uses session state so exceptions may occur if session is disabled for a controller.
