Comment 1 for bug 193656

We have done some experiences to run process-death-row (p-d-r) in parallel with publish-distro (p-d), but it only works correctly if p-d-r starts after the publishing table are already changes, i.e. when p-d start to run apt-ftparchive (a-f) which is approximately 7 minutes after it started.

This very specific condition is not working well, specially when archive admins have to run the publisher cycle manually, if the publishing tables change while p-d-r is running it ends up not able to commit the transaction and blocks the rest of the system consuming a lot of CPU.
