This finally prompted me to rewrite a part of Minify so this could be an easy user option as well.

So, your last argument isn't a good one :-) filelocking is a good thing in some cases. But on NFS, I will turn off. You are protected against cache corruption by read_control and write_control But, IMHO, the problem is maybe you have to many cache files into a single directory. There is a specific option to deal with that. Hi, I’m the author of Cache_Lite and Zend_Cache.
