fastest way to access global vars

hi guys,
I need your help on this.....
which is the fastest way to access global vars? (performance-wise)

#1. Applcation State

#2. <appSettings>

#3. Static public variable (global.asax)

(are there any other means?)

Thanks,

> #1. Applcation State
This requires a cast out of an object variable

> #2. <appSettings>
This is a disk read

> #3. Static public variable (global.asax)

straight read.

You aren't looking at much difference here so that it would matter. What are
you trying to accomplish.

combine #2 and #3:
public static readonly int MyInt = int.Parse(AppSettings["MyKey"]);

I may be doing enhancement on an existing site wherein I need to do some checking on all pages (yes, kind of the old way of doing things in ASP) so, I need a faster/more efficient way of reading these data.

btw, on #2 as I understand it, appsettings will not be considered as a disk read (unless it's read for the 1st time) because it is cached.
