Is there anything that can be done to increase the speed of a flush? Can it be run while other queries are running?
The problem I'm having is that every time a flush is waiting to happen no new connections can be initiated and all my queries are on hold. If there is something long running before it everything comes to a halt for a good 30-40 seconds. I can't make these long queries any faster. What can I do?

Yes, when you FLUSH TABLES, all new queries wait for that to complete (as indicated by "Waiting for table" in PROCESSLIST). And the tables can't all be flushed (closed) until all queries complete that were running (the 2 "Sorting result" queries in your case). Why are those 2 queries running for over 1 and 2 minutes? Must be examining many rows and/or not indexed properly (if there's a WHERE that could use an index)... Hope that helps.
