[Koha-patches] [PATCH] cache the session for the duration of the script

[Michael Hafen]

I don't have any profile data, it's just a supposition.  I figure it
will save however many milliseconds it takes to parse the session data
again to form the object.

What I really hope to accomplish with this patch is to fix a strange
problem I've been having here.  I haven't tested the patch to see if it
even accomplishes that yet though, I need to talk to some of my
librarians today to see what the results are.  The problem is that some
stations are logged in an only do circulation, and after a couple hours
of active circulation their session is timed out prematurely.

I'm just throwing this patch out while testing myself to see what other
developers think of it.
