That will be processed for every request, which isn't really necessary. It probably won't add THAT much overhead, but if you have a high volume site you'd want to offload the session clearing into something else.
* you could make a rake task that deletes sessions older than a certain offset, and call that from cron * put it into your authentication code, rather than a before_filter, that way it'll only run when someone logs in * your idea of a simple class that runs from cron, using script/ runner. Seems like a valid approach. * use a scheduling gem/plugin.
