That's why we use it here...  I'd like to point out that this puts a
surprisingly large load on a SQL server.  We've got two webmail servers
and a separate server running mysql for sessions and other horde data.  If
you have a server farm, you are probably processing 5-10 sessions per
second or more, which can generate some contention for the sessions table.

Anyways, I don't have any real advice on this, just something to keep in
mind.  :)
