db based session HEAP tables vs native PHP sessions - El Forum - 08-21-2007

Anybody have experience with MySQL HEAP tables for db sessions vs native php session handling?
I like the cleanliness of db tables - but the overhead of writing/reading from disk every time a user hits my site is unappealing; HEAP tables are the obvious route (with a MyISAM table periodically backing up the HEAP table) for this - but, if native PHP sessions are significantly faster; I may just use that instead.
