Should make sure session.auto_start is 0. We don't want sessions to be created for piwik.php requests.

auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file should be null. We don't want any additional overhead on piwik.php requests.

is auto_start really breaking Piwik? if so, sounds important to test against it indeed!

or maybe instead we explicitely disable it all the time in piwik.php?

Creating sessions takes time and resources. This impacts throughput in piwik.php requests and can lead to DoS (eg where session files are cleaned up by cron).

Session auto start and auto prepend happen before piwik.php is executed.
