I can't see PHP sessions slowing down your site by that amount. As someone said, it should be no more than a split second. If you are having that much of a problem with them, then I would say it is either your implementation, or another determining factor.
I would not, personally, stray away from PHP's GC of sessions. I would imagine that any third-party concoction could not be any faster. I would however, check to see how long PHP takes to clean up defunct sessions, and also monitor how many sessions are lying around at any given time.
