I'd have GUESSED that MySQL would have just cached something that small and oft-used in RAM anyway, so a MySQL memory engine table wouldn't perform any better than the MySQL half of things. Better than the File System, probably, though that also may be getting cached... > Think I'll leave the session_id idea then, if it locks it down > per-script, the performance will pretty much die. It won't be any better than your own file-system calls, but you could do: <?php session_start(); //read-write $_SESSION here session_write_close(); //don't touch session here ?> And it probably won't be any worse than the locking you presumably already have in your code... WHy is it sometimes MySQL and sometims file system? -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
