Subject: Locking in CGI::Session::MySQL is useless
The locking in CGI::Session::MySQL is redundant. It only holds locks while the data is being read or written. MySQL already guarantees atomic reads and writes. The locking stuff should be removed, since it just wastes times.

Perrin, Thanks for the report. This locking has been removed in the 4.0 developer release series. If you have any other feedback on the 4.0 developer releases, it would be appreciated. But I think this particular request can be considered "resolved". Mark
Thanks for the followup, Mark. Looks much better. - Perrin
