Of the sending processes? Not because of sender punishment, if anything it
should alleviate the problem. The main thing that I can think of is that
very high contention on the receiving processes message queue lock is
causing the sending processes to block for a long time.

If you can, you may want to run with the lock counter and see if the
message queue lock shows up a lot in there (especially check the histogram
of wait times on the lock).
