Does anyone have any recommendations on whether to use
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache or System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache to
access the ASP.NET Cache? Are these different cache contexts? If they are
the same, is there a difference in performance between the two?

No, they are basically the same underneath.

Alvin, that is truly a shamless author plug. Heh, no, just kidding.

Todd, one thing to note is than a few places in the MSDN documentation, it
erroneously implies that System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache is some sort
of temporary, page-execution-only cache. That's not the case.

They are functionally the same but make sure you don't set the cache with one and read it using the other. It won't work reliably.
