Since osd runs a lot of ltp tests for kernel live patches, we noticed a dramatic slowdown in uploading results. Stracing the mojo workers, they were doing a log of systemv ipc and it was unclear why.
Attaching gdb to it, it was found that this is all triggered by IPC::ShareLite used by Mojolicious::Plugin::Status. I removed both and disabled the monitoring option in openqa.ini

I guess either this monitor plugin can be implemented without locking or we need to remove the option.
