part of the userprofile extension involves touching last_activity_ts when a user touches a bug.

i've noticed a few deadlocks as a result of this:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction [for Statement "UPDATE profiles SET last_activity_ts = ? WHERE userid = ?"] (Bugzilla/Object.pm:442)

one way of fixing this may be to commit the changes to the profile outside of the main transaction block, as small transactions are less prone to collision.

Thank you; I'd seen the odd deadlock when using TBPL (tbplbot etc). Will keep an eye out for any more, and if needed I guess we can always exempt tbplbot like we do for the first patch extension.
tbplbot is still colliding, quite frequently.
Spoken to glob about this on IRC - we need timestamps, a copy of the error shown in TBPL (ie what BzAPI returns) and also whether the comment actually ended up in the bug. When we have that please file as a new bug marked blocking this one - cheers! :-)
