in thread Apache::Session problems under high load

But the 'exclusive locking' is what the monk want. IMHO. And Apache::Session does that if 'Transaction => 1' even when this is no real transaction, it prevents others to write to that session until the session is untied. Whereas without 'Transaction => 1' another request can overwrite the sessiondata with older data.

    You're missing the point. If he is using Apache::Session::MySQL he already hasexclusive locking. It has no other mode and is totally unaffected by the Transaction option. The same goes for Postgres and Oracle. So, it's best to find out which one he's using before offering this advice, because it may not do anything at all.
