If we know that your cluster is using session affinity, there are a large number of optimisations that we can make, which will result in a faster service for you.
I will be checking in an updated implementation of distributable sessions for Jetty shortly, which I shall then spend some time optimising in this way. You would be well advised to use session affinity if you can. If you don't you are simply making a lot more work for your cluster.
