Can the ViewState value be stored in a server variable?

[Tillman]

I am working on reducing the size of the ViewState value passed between
client and server in a web app. And I am asking myself why the ViewState
value can't be stored in a server variable rather than in the hidden input
control. Can someone give me the answer?

Check out:

And go to the section that talks about "Specifying Where to Persist the View
State". This is one suggestion for a way to optimize it.
