I'd leave it as is... this ensures that ALL users can use the site, because the session id can be passed around in either the URL or cookies... and enabling trans sid means you don't even have to worry about it... PHP will use cookies if possible, or else append it to the URLs. What sort of stuff are you storing in the session that your are worried about with too many writes?
