    There's a good coverage of locking modes in chapter 6, including why SQL needs IX locks at higher levels.

    So, what would be your explanation?

    dbcc checkdb runs on startup. This is an issue for any VLDB. It particularly is bad for mirroring and cluster failovers.

    I recommend you do not run the Profiler GUI against a busy production server. It's far more overhead than a server side trace.
