and I think it's a question, that really wont be answered definitively. it really happens to be a matter of load on your server and testing to determine that load, and how long, based on the load, timeout should be...if there is an equation or some sort of metric to determine that time, I have yet to see it.

I just wanted to ask this quick, is there any standard for how long to set my timeout when locking a var. How about something like this, <cflock scope="SESSION" timeout="??" type="READONLY"> <cfset User = "#SESSION.User#"> <cfset SecurityLevel = "#SESSION.Security#"> </cflock> How long should I lock this for? It's a question I've never really asked.....
