I read in the docs several comments that $_SESSION is slower that other
arrays. One
comment even had benchmarking info indicating it was about half as
fast. I don't understand
why this should be. Isn't $_SESSION just a normal super global array
like any other, except that it get serialized and written to disk *once at the end* of a
request? Why on earth would this impact the performance of reading and
writing in the middle of a request? Is there some
funkyness going on under the covers that I'm missing? Can it be made to
work as I described?


Do you have links to these "docs"??

The following code gives me this:
Normal $val: 9.4890594482422E-05
Session var: 1.1920928955078E-05

The key here is the 'to the power of -05' bit.
