SQLSession stores base64 encoded pickles of whatever you store in it, 
yes. 

Is cpickle that much slower than marshal? I thought they were close in 
speed?

hm - another toggle for the standardised session API, maybe? marshal
vs pickle? The other storage type I've thought about is zope style
marshalling, eg foo:int = "2", fred:list=["a", "b", "c"] - this would
be rather slow (particularly to unpack) but would allow human inspection
of the data in it's encoded form.
