Are sessions any faster than using cookies? (You don't have to keep reading a file from the users system right?)
Why not grab the cookie if a session hasn't been created, and then from that point track the user with the session instead of the cookie, until the session expires?
Cant you do persistent db connections with sessions or some junk like that also? That would be cool. Or are you already doing that?
Actually.. I think it would be a bad idea to use sessions.. Those can bring down servers if you get a lot of hits (atleast they do in ASP).. I would just stick to using cookies.
