The standard PHP memcache libraries will be aquiring native $_SESSION support. Just thought I'd pop that in. Maybe "too late in the day" for us though as it will be "pretty new" and I'm not sure which versions of the Memcache PECL will get it.

I should have said that the post above is the start of a thread. The news.php.net server isn't too good at show threads (it doesn't at all). Best get a news reader and subscribe to the newsgroup at the php server news.php.net to get a decent read of the discussion.

Thanks for the info. This type of external help is, of course, very welcome. The problem for Drupal will remain, however, the building of the global $user object which also happens during the session reading/writing/destroying processes. The question, then, is whether we'll be able to use what they create, or will it do too little?

This is fixed in the latest session handling code. all $_SESSION data is stored in memcache.
