  • It's impossible to "guess" what it could be.

    Have a look at your error logs, collect performance data, check if jobs are running etc.

  • Another vote for reading Gail's excellent articles.

    You can take a look at sys.dm_exec_requests to see if you're getting blocking on any of the processes. I'd probably start there on a cursory check of performance issues.

    Otherwise, you need to gather metrics, especially wait states and queues, in order to understand what's happening with the system. I outline how to do that in my book, linked below.
