There is really no magic here.  ;-) A session data manager stores its
session data in one transient object container, referenced by the
"Transient Object Container Path" in its setup.  If you change this
value in the "default" session data manager (/session_data_manager),
your session data will be stored in the transient object container you
change it to.

The default transient object container (at '/temp_folder/session_data')
stores data in RAM because 'temp_folder" is a mounted RAM-backed
database.  If you place one at '/iamtoolazytoreadthedocs', you are
placing it into the "main" database (which stores stuff into Data.fs),
which is not RAM-based.

This is explained in the docs, as far as I can tell.
