but I tend to view sessions as something that consumes memory - they

may be something

that holds database tables open, and may even be causing CPU to be

consumed, even

though a user may not be actively hitting the server with new requests.

A session is nothing more than a hunk of memory (assuming in-memory
sessions) sitting on the server. Shouldn't consume CPU, and I don't see
it holding any locks in the DB. I guess in theory I could start a
transaction and then store the transaction in session, never tried,
never would.
