File also has some tricky concurrency issues, mentioned in the comments to 
SessionFileStore.__setitem__().  If two servlets simultaneously modify the 
session, one change wins and the other change is lost.  Whereas Memory 
works perfectly and is significantly faster, especially if you're storing 
lots of data in sessions.

I vote for making Memory the default until we fix the Dynamic store.  And 
we ought to document the problems with the File store somewhere other than 
in the comments.
