You can set session.save_handler in the php.ini file to point at a
different handler. Define your handler and write the data to the
database. Instructions are in the PHP doc.
Alternatively, you can also set an auto prepend file to include your
session handler code in every file.
However, are you sure this will help performance? Why do you think your
current session handling is causing performance problems? Not that I
like using NFS shares, but they're typically faster than remote databases.
