That's a bit strange, I guess. If you're not observing light CPU and I/O
usage, then the instance should not be slow, unless there's something
else going on - possibly at the virtualization level (e.g. another busy
instance on the same hardware, some sort of accounting that limits the
resources after a time, etc.)
I've experienced something similar on linux before. Database is slow,
but neither CPU or IO is maxed. IIRC there was nothing disturbing in
pg_locks either. I don't recall the server actually slowing down, but
this would have been on something with at least 24 cores, so...
My suspicion has always been that there's some form of locking that
isn't being caught by the tools.
