There's no real size limit, other than memory usage.  However, it's not 
a good idea to store huge amounts of data in the $_SESSION; it can take 
along time to serialize/write/read/deserialize it.

I put what's necessary in it.  What may or may not be required I put in 
a database.  For instance, I will store a $user object in the $_SESSION, 
but it contains minimal information (i.e. userid, privileges, etc.). 
Other things I fetch as necessary.
