Long waiting time for first page due to session[:user]

Rails
1

hi everyone
i am developing http://sprinj.com
it uses a login system, quite simple, really, similar to loginEngine

the problem is that takes way too much time to access the first page.
when i
desactive the login system, there is very noticeable difference (about 2
to
3 seconds), and people who visited the website complained about this.

is there something i can do to speed the sessions checkups ?

sessions are stored in tmp/sessions [someone hinted me at memcached
store
but i have not been able to make it run on my server, and i am not sure
if
it will speed things up too.]

thanks everyone for the help

Sessions are retrieved on every request, not just when you actually
use a session variable. So the delay is probably in your login code
and doesn’t have anything to do with sessions.
