Well, even if that was only for the last 1000 users, 8000 minutes
would come to 5.5 days to do the insertion ( `units 8000minute day`).
My guess, from the sounds of this, is that after ~50K users, insertion
starts to get increasingly expensive and lengthy. To an impatient user,
even a few seconds delay might seem like vadduser had permanently
blocked.
I.e. you may be closer to recreating the problem than you think. It
looks like an increasing delay after
