Thanks to all who replied.

I solved the problem: it turned out the timer queue entries quota was too low. These entries are used for every active delay statement. The slowness is perfectly explained: some delays were delayed because there were other delays active.

I found out by reading the Ada runtime manual searching for quota-related text. Too bad VMS doesn't have a tool that informs you on what resource an MWAITing process is waiting.
