Any INSERT or UPDATE command with a high idle time in the "Time"
column.  Multiple clients doing many small overlapped INSERTS can also
lock tables for extended periods, since write queries always get
priority over read queries by default.  See the Mysql Manual, under
"Table Locking Issues", for solutions.
