It's not actually as bad as you think. With a table like this, the table
locking actually has a very minimal effect on it.
In any case, I'm not arguing that using a database would perform better
than using msession. I'm simply arguing that it would be good to have the
built-in session management support databases. It might also be
advantageous to add msession support to the core session support.
