Dave,
The more important question is, what are the concequences in stability of
/not/ using cflock? The #1 stability problem in CF (by a wide margin) is
the unlocked use of application, session, and server variables.
For session variables, <cflock scope=session> will only single-thread a
browser session, so there should be no noticable problems in performance at
all, unless (a) you exclusive-lock large blocks of code, /and/ (b) you are
using a frames-enabled site, where more than one frame uses code with locks.
(In this case, it may appear that one frame loads before another frame,
rather than them both loading simultaneously. On the other hand, it often
looks like that even if both /are/ theoretically loading simultaneously.)
For more info on locking, see Jim Schley's article in the Developer's Zone,
