CFLOCK is no longer necessary to prevent memory corruption, but it is still necessary to prevent race conditions in your code. In other words, if you need to ensure that only a single request at a time can access a resource (whether a variable in a shared scope, a file on the filesystem, or something else) you still need CFLOCK. You can usually get away without locking session access, as long as your site doesn't use frames, but you should still put it in there where appropriate.
