[erlang-questions] gen_server message queue length increasing

[Zvi]

The only thing its waiting for is ETS lookup:

delete_by_pid(Pid, State) ->    case ets:lookup(State#state.pid2id,
Pid) of        [{_, ID, Ref}] ->             erlang:demonitor(Ref),   
        ets:delete(State#state.pid2id, Pid),           
ets:delete(State#state.id2pid, ID);         _ ->            ignore   
end.
