Well, you didn't try it with MySQL, which is significantly faster than Oracle and Postgres for most stuff. In any case, I agree that msession is probably a better solution -- I just think that having built-in MySQL session support would be a good thing for PHP.

You can easily port session pgsql for mysql. BTW, as far as my benchmarks on session pgsql and files handler, they are almost equal. I didn't benchmark in detail, but I doubt mysql could be much faster than PostgreSQL. Just my guess.

From my expirience postgres is slower if you use referential integrity (what you should do) but this you cannot do in mysql (and therefore it is some kind of data storage but not a real rdbms).
