I now have a sessionsettings table, but I'm making way to many calls to it because there is no global pool of variable. Not IMO an efficient use of a table. Chances are that table, if you are indeed using it a lot, will be cached. It'll end up fairly cheap. But just out of vague curiosity, I wonder how viable it would be to create functions for all your global variables - each one is thus a function returning its value.
