A good reason would be several concurrent requests (which also might be
stylesheets, javascript, images, the lot), a website in which there are
'heavy' pages (take a long time to load), and users are likely to have
several windows open.

It is not strictly necessary to use session_write_close(), but a lot of
loading problems in a PHP-heavy site can be avoided with it. And if you're
done with a session, why not? session-closing/database-closing/unsetting
variables are just the kind of thing that might improve performance when
the server is stretched.
