Symptoms

Overall performance of the delivery system is increasingly slow. Reboot makes little difference, after restart the performance is largely the same. It does not seem linked to any particular activity, such as publishing or UI work.

Thread dumps on CS show many threads doing this:

And the lock is held by one thread doing this:
