Try to change session resolution seconds (Timeout resolution (in seconds))
parameter to a larger value. Possibly you're ecountering same problem as I
had some time ago. With long requests and small session resolution
seconds I had a lot of conflict errors.

I think it is because of way sessions work in zope. Every x
seconds (where x is 'session resolution seconds'), when there is access
to SESSION, session objects are moved in OOBTrees. It is used to handle
session expiration.
Not used session objects are moved to the end of the
'list' and finally removed after Session Timeout is reached. I don't
know how this exactly goes but it is something like that.

When this 'movement' happens during request (session object is moved
when request that is bound to it is still being served) this causes
conflicts. You may look at group archives for my posts month or two
months ago...

It is easy to reproduce these errors.
