Eh, no, to the contrary, it is more severe for Pg than for other
backends. I wrote "can't overcome".

The issue is really transactional integrity. Pg has the strongest code
for transactional integrity, equal to that of Oracle. In the case of
problems, Pg will wait around and eventually time out (after two
minutes), but other backends will go ahead. It will go OK for a while,
but may eventually run into problems.

I don't know, but I think the percieved problems will be less, since
MySQL isn't as rigorous as Pg. It may be worth a shot. However, since
there is no solution to the real problem, and so, the consequences may
be bad.

No, sorry...

Never invalidate the session is the best I can give... It occurs only
 on invalidation, and you could in principle design the app so that a
 user comes in, gets a session, and that session is used, assigned
 values and so on, but never actually invalidated. Actually, I think
 this is how it is supposed to be done...

Best,
