"With ColdFusion MX, there is only one reason to lock application, session, or server variables, and that is the danger of a race condition." I would add to that statement that the race condition should be meaningful. If you have a page counter, and it might display one or two numbers off, and you don't care, then thats also something that need not be locked. A silly example but it illustrates the point. Generally I still lock writes with a scope lock. Dunno why.
