"Persistent" login expires many times within a single session

Description:
Even with the "remember login across sessions" flag set on login, logging into
en or meta often has to be done 3 or 4 times a day. It is not clear to me why
or when I get logged out; someone suggested that this may be a function of how
many hits the site is getting, and that some kind of session purging is going
on. This does seem to happen more frequently for logins on the en: wikipedia
than on other sites.

Whatever the cause, it is frustrating; particularly in the absence of universal
login, I am often logged into 4 or 5 projects at once, doing work across
projects (for instance, checking up on translations of the article on unrest in
Belize requires working on wikinews, en:wp and other lang wps...), so having to
log in to each site multiple times can be a pain.
