Hmm.  Is it possible that the process is replaying the abort of a
transaction with a lot of subtransactions?  It seems like maybe
you could be getting into an O(N^2) situation, though for N in
the low thousands it's hard to see that loop taking so long that
you'd think things were stuck.

Is that number changing at all?
