Large Lists in SharePoint
“if a read or write database operation, such as a query, causes more than 5,000 rows to be locked at the same time, then it is more efficient for SQL Server to escalate the lock to the entire table until the database operation is completed. When this lock escalation occurs, it prevents other users from accessing the table.”
