You know, I had this same idea (more or less).  Unfortunately, I am 
concerned about the size of the flat file or the amount of memory it would 
use.  The reason is that this is for an unbelieveably high-session site.  It 
is safe to assume that this read/write would have to happen at least several 
hundred times an hour, and perhaps more during peak usage.  Have you had any 
experience with the load this would potentially cause?
