What database are you using? I thought the default data types for most of them would hold a very large amount of data before having trouble. I suspect you are having locking problems or session data is not being written because the session object doesn't go out of scope. Even if the size of your session data isn't causing this lost data, it is a serious problem. When your session data is large, it makes everything slow, holds the locks longer, and hurts the performance of your site. You should consider putting that data into database tables instead and only loading it as needed. - Perrin
