Re: Session's is slowing the page ??

Hi PHP's sessions are blocking, i.e. until a session is closed, all other calls to session_start() are pending. If you don't close a session explicitely, it remains opened until the script is terminated. The solution is to close a session as soon as possible (session_write_close) or use non-blocking read-only sessions (session_readonly instead of session_start) in case you don't need to modify registered variables.
