I've never figured out how to resolve the "lock on transaction" to
something understandable...

It's presumably waiting for a row lock that the other transaction
has got.  We don't keep enough information about row locks in memory
to give a better error message (because we could run out of memory
if we tried :-()

If that's true does it make sense to play with a timeout value (I assume the timeout is configurable somewhere in postgresql.conf) in an effort to tune for this ?
