You risk that multiple requests try to generate the page. This may create 
corrupted output and waste server resources.

I'd try "flock" if your files are not on NFS. "simple" was made to avoid 
issues with NFS, where "flock" does not work. Another good one is 
"semaphore", which is faster than "flock" but (1) it needs a PHP extension, 
which is not always available and (2) sometimes it causes a small memory leak.
