It depends. :) I mean seriously - consider your example of a session variable for a hit counter. If you don't lock it, I could in theory open a bunch of tabs and make that # inaccurate. So, um, who cares? I've made my own hit count high. Unless you are running a contest, it doesn't matter.
So my real point is - if the # isn't critical (like you are working for NASA), then I wouldn't worry about the locking.
