Don't use Pstore as a session container
Posted 04 Nov 2005
You really shouldn’t be using Pstore for Rails. Apart from the fact that it doesn’t scale to a setup with more than 1 box, it is much slower than using the database for session storage, for example.
Using a Mysql session store can be up to 90% faster. Under, Linux, that is.
If you’re on a Windows box, the difference can be staggering: up to 560%!
