As has been said, because the session data can be evicted, kicking  
out users from your system. A better, non-database system for  
sessions is sharedance which is like memcache with disk storage:  
http://sharedance.pureftpd.org/ especially in conjunction with the  
recent addition of http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpdance
