No, I'm not aware of any. The thing is, you're not concerned with how long it'll take to execute the code within the lock, exactly, but how long you're willing to wait to get access to a lock. So, you might have two blocks like this: <!--- page 1 ---> <cflock scope="session" ...> ... do something really long ... </cflock> <!--- page 2 ---> <cflock scope="session" ...> ... do something that'll only take an instant ... </cflock> So, how long should you lock the second block? If the first block might be executing at the same time, and you absolutely don't want the second block to timeout, you'd want to use the amount of time that the first block would take - and you'd have to take into account how long that block takes under server load!
