Sorry : slightly digressive rant about the fact that every time I compare my 
configs, I find some subtle differences. Should be getting into config 
management tools, but that takes time too.

Nope; same results on both types when running the script

Well, I already posted a test with ab and 12 000 requests, so not sure about 
the 'quite often' part?

This is on the faulty one :

xxxx@arsene:~$ perl -le '%h=();for (1..10_000_000) {my $session_id = join "", 
map +(0..9,"a".."z","A".."Z")[rand(10+26*2)], 1..32;$h{$session_id}=1};$v=keys 
%h; print $v'
10000000
