> Okay.. so, is cflock in or out these days? If you're still working with CF 5 or earlier, locking is very important if you want your server to continue working. If you're using a newer version, locking is only needed when you may have a race condition. Race conditions arise when you have concurrent requests that may access the same piece of data, and as a result may generate unintended results. If there's no potential for a race condition, or you don't care if there is one, you don't need to lock.
> Should I be using cflock around session variable reads? writes? This all depends on the factors mentioned above.
