I actually don't expect a huge difference to be honest. Not in the whole scheme of things when it comes to the time spent doign other parts of your app. I use database sessions for larger sites, as it's easier to scale. It's a key based lookup in the database, so the query is fast. Locking can be an issue on some file systems for file based sessions I think. Files can start to slow down a FS when there's more then a few thousand files in one directory on some file systems.... If you benchmark it, or find some benchmarks on google, I'll be interested to know! I think maybe memcache is the 'best' solution when workign with scalability and speed - but there's overhead in connecting to a memcache server, so if your application is already connected to a database, and not a memcache server, perhaps just using the database is better..... So, short answer, I don't know - but there's food for thought at least :) -- Ian P.
