Kind-of sounds like I/O contention... what's your disk configuration? Do you run RAID? If so, what kind? What do you observe if you monitor "iostat -x 5" while the problem is occuring? 


Art,
yes RAID-1
Do you have separate system disk from data, or does everything run off one mirror? How many disks are in your mirror? Is your LDM queue running off the same array as the OS and data? 

                             Art


Do the relevant pqact(1) configuration-file entries use the "-flush" or
"-close" option?


Steve,
yes..except EXEC entries, are they needed there?
How are you dividing out the write tasks with LDM? Each pqact only has 32 pipes, so if you are attempting to fit too many products through those available pipes, there will be lags.
Install system monitoring tools like 'dstat' and 'sysstat', monitor the disk IO rates before you do something drastic like reformatting or changing filesystems.

When I have seen problems before, it is almost always a LDM configuration issue and not having enough pqacts running.

hmm..
maybe I should look that over

thanks to everyone .. gave me some food for thought..
