Yes.  The article I mentioned talks about row "locking" in the sense of 
using a transaction between the read and the write so that no other 
writes can happen between the initial read and write.  And it points out 
that php locks the session file for each request.  Locking only when 
needed can speed up applications, especially if they are AJAX heavy.

Have fun.
