It's not updates, it's just querying, updates are not that bad, the main issue there was that the CI runner was keeping a lock in the database while going for the filesystem to get the commit, this generated a lot of contention.

Still this is something we need to fix in our CI implementation because, as you say, databases are not good queueing systems.
