• - how often do you rebuild indexes on your db ?

    bad indexes result in IO overhead resulting in longer need for locks.

    IO is the slowest part of your server !!

    Rebuild all indexes, and your problem may disappear.

    Also, provide FK-indexes on your dependant tables ! (unless they really hurt performance)
