When you're talking about only reading, I think you're right, but Dave seemed to go more general than that. I would much rather have full unlocked access to a request scope structure to do writes to, than to have to throw in locks around my writes to session scope.
With what I'm saying, you would only have one exclusive lock on the page, but what you guys are saying is that you would rather have multiple exclusive locks, so that you can reference your session scopes directly. But perhaps I misunderstand.
