Description:
------------
I'm using a php script that uses sessions and send really big files as output to the users. As the files are opened in popup windows I recently noticed that other scripts (with the same session id) are locked until the first send all data to the user. 
I think that solution could be quite simple:
If session_stat() had a parameter like eg. readonly (defaults to false) PHP engine didn't have to lock session file for the lifetime of whole PHP script but only for the time of reading session file.
That would dramatically improve performance in scripts like mine.

use session_write_close() before you start sending your file.
