Good point.  Thanks.

That's what I'm trying to figure out - cache actually only has 14
files in it vs the 200k in sessions...  Another alternative is to use
memcached as a backend, that'll prune out all the old entries once it
runs out of space.  There is the potential of this canning sessions
too early however if there is not enough memory to store all the
entries, which is why i've been using bdb till now.  I guess another
option would be to use postgres or mysql as a backend, but iirc this
also requires some manual pruning of old sessions.

Wrt flat file/yaml - can that be used with beaker?  Are there any
advantages/disadvantages?
