I benchmarked File sessions vs. Dynamic and we chose File. At the time, we were using a hardware load balancer across two webservers, so storing the sessions on an NFS-mounted directory was a convenient "synchronization" mechanism.
With other factors held constant, File vs. Dynamic resulted in a 16% decrease in the benchmark's performance (one of the Webware example pages, 20,000 requests, 10 concurrently. That 16% may be what Matt had in mind as "way slower" but I thought it might help to put a number on it. I'd be interested to hear if others have poorer performance in the "real world," because we no longer load-balance (we have a primary and standby server), but we're still writing sessions to the File storage.

Definitely an undesirable band-aid solution. We've seen this sort of thing, too. We were never able to determine the source of the bug (or whether it was a bug).
