Thanks for all your work /u/tecosaur! Are there any potential issues with the cache or persistent variables if one has multiple instances of Emacs(client) running at the same time?

In theory, there can be variable saving race if you close two Emacs instances at the same time or force-kill a Emacs instance while it is writing the cache. But Emacs itself should handle such scenarios. In the worst case, cache files can be corrupted, leading to cache reading error later. Such errors will only result in that cache file being ignored on read.
