David:=20

OK, here's what's happening:=20

Without the index every delete has to scan the entire table looking for mat=
ching rows to delete. Each row as it is examined has to be locked, dirty re=
ad or no dirty read, for a fraction of a second. As multiple scans zip thro=
ugh the table it is inevitable that one or more will encounter a row that's=
locked. If multiple sessions have to delete multiple rows on the same page=
they will all have to latch the same page in the cache and so will queue u=
p behind one another each holding a lock on a different row on that one pag=
e. They will single thread on the cache page latch and on the LRU latch nee=
ded to move the page from the clean part of the LRU queue to the dirty part=
or from the middle of the dirty queue to the most recently used end of the=
dirty queue. All that time the N+1st session is waiting for a row lock on =
one of the rows in that frozen page to clear so it can read that row and co=
ntinue its scan. Eventually, sometimes, the last waiter times out before it=
gets access to the locks or latches that it needs.=20

This is one of the few cases in which page locks MIGHT perform better, but =
I doubt it. The index almost eliminates the problem because that waiter who=
doesn't need to update another row on the same cache page is able to skip =
over the page locks because it is scanning the index instead which is not b=
eing locked and which it does not have to acquire a lock for.=20
