I had a problem with session variables being lost. However it wasn't because of a heavy load. My hosting company does load balancing and user requests would be directed to different servers. However, when the session was originally defined it was placed in the /tmp file of one server. When a request came into a different server it wouldn't "know" about the session and hence the variables seemed "lost" only to reappear unexpectedly a few requests later. I fixed the problem by defining the /tmp directory to my public_html directory.
This may have nothing to do with your isse but the heavy load you are experiencing may be triggering some load balancing mechanism which is directing users to another server that isn't aware of your session variables.
