I'd double check this cronjob script...  possible scenario.. kaibash idea
if you can prove it's invalid.

"> ServerB has a script that runs every 20 minutes, which does a very
quick/simple select from DB1, then loops though the results and does
updates/deletes on a different database server."

running a select on a server with 1000 inserts a second will take alot
longer than if the query had a table lock.  Also if the query has anything
to do with stats, etc, not having a read lock and inserts going on could
affect results and result speed.

Perhaps it aquires a read lock before running the query?
I'd dig thru the code/sql / use show processlist to disprove this theory.
