So, basically you are left with using Apache::Session::Flex and its
NullLocker class or making your own session module.  You could also
create a separate CGI::Session driver that doesn't have the locking in
it.

Apache::ASP takes a different approach, using MLDBM::Sync and relying on
shared filesystems for clustered use.  In general, putting more than a
couple of scalars into a session is a mistake in nearly any web
development environment, so making the session storage really amazing is
probably not worth it.
