That may or may not help depending on why the blocking is occurring. Here is a good primer on identifying blocked processes:

I'm using a tool by Quest called Spotlight and I'm noticing during this 4-5 mins a blocked process appears. When I check the spid in SQL Activity monitor it's the Report Server and the ReportServer db. Once the report finally appears refreshing it is quick and I haven't noticed this slowness with any other report. Since I'm not an SQL guy I was hoping someone had suggestions for how I can diagnose this further. CM12 SP1 CU1 w/ SQL 2012 SP1 no CU. Daniel.
