One way to work around it!

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* CI Session Class Extension for AJAX calls.
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Save as application/libraries/MY_Session.php
*/

class MY_Session extends CI_Session {

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * sess_update()
     *
     * Do not update an existing session on ajax calls
     *
     * @access    public
     * @return    void
     */
    public function sess_update()
    {
        if (is_ajax_request())
        {
            // set a higher timeout for Ajax calls.
            $this->sess_time_to_update = 1200;    // raise if you need more time!
            parenet::sess_update();
        }
    }

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * sess_destroy()
     *
     * Clear's out the user_data array on sees::destory.
     *
     * @access    public
     * @return    void
     */
    public function sess_destroy()
    {
        $this->userdata = array();
        parent::sess_destroy();
    }

}
