It seem like it would be to me to but found this in SMF and had a site that said the same but did not keep it for this...

"Use database driven sessions"

This option makes use of the database for session storage - it is best for load balanced servers, but helps with all timeout issues and can make the forum faster.


Tested it with my test forum and enable you get random errors with posting and sending PMs that you have already posted or sent PM. So I kind of figured from that the VPS was probably not on a Load balanced server.

But it dose seem like to me a cookie would be faster as long as your not the type who removes cookies often.
