BTW: I didn't understand the part in the Catalyst documentation saying
the benefit of sending the session in the cookie is that you don't
have to access the disk. I assume that's supposed to be a performance
benefit. But, after two encodings and an encryption, and two decodings
and a decryption? I don't see how that could be much of a performance
boost.
