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.
