No sticky sessions, through my experience with load balancing my particular cakePHP application ( and various others ) I've found that sticky sessions does not evenly balance the load across machines, particularly if they are all serving site assets IE: images, style sheets, javascripts
However, the application that I run serves over 1 million pages a day and 300k in unique users. The biggest performance gain I've seen was when I moved caching ( Including schema caching ) over to a dedicated "memcached" server. I've also moved over my PHP session to memcache VS database sessions and seen a significant performance gain. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll try and advise where I can.
