The trouble with outside-the-database explanations is that it's not
clear why stopping the worker processes would make such issues go away.
I think looking into pg_stat_activity and pg_locks might be interesting,
although it's possible the delay is before the new session has made
any entries there.
Also, obtaining stack traces from a few of the stuck processes would
likely be quite informative.
