You haven't provided enough information to let anyone guess at the
problem. Have you checked to see if one of the processes is blocking
on a lock, or perhaps there's a sudden spike in system load, or what?
Watching pg_stat_activity, pg_locks, and/or "vmstat 1" output during
one of these events might help narrow down what's happening.
