  * In most environments, multiple Drupal page requests (a.k.a. threads or
  * processes) will execute in parallel. This leads to potential conflicts or

- * invoke many hook implementations to get and process data from all active
- * modules, and then delete the current data in the database to insert the new

+ * problems with such code, the cron system uses a locking process to ensure
+ * that cron is not started again if it is already running.

  * This is a cooperative, advisory lock system. Any long-running operation
  * that could potentially be attempted in parallel by multiple requests should
