First off, thank you *so much* for that detailed explanation comparing with
a real-time application performance benchmark, which was really enlightening
for me.

No, actually am not explicitly locking any tables -- all are *simple*
select, update, insert statements only.

Again, we're not leaving any transaction opens until for any user responses,
etc.

Yes, you're correct.  Queries those normally run fast are becoming slow at
the time of this slowdown.

Am not able to understand above statements (...any sort of ORM for the
update application ...) clearly.  Can you help me in understanding this?
