Performance problems, maybe because of table locking

ezidentifier datatype locks tables to ensure uniqeness. It locks ezcontentobject_attribute and ezcontentclass_attribute.
Normally it sounds ok, but we have now more than 8 million rows in ezcontentobject_attribute and system with lot of inserting and editing. So I see time to time locked queries in mysql preocess list.
First question:
Why is ezcontentobject_attribute locked? It seems to me that locking ezcontentclass_attribute would be enough...

Could be that ezurlalias_ml locking in store function is also making problem so second questions is:
Can I disable ezurlaliases?

As for second: No, but are you using a older version? I think the locking was removed in favor of auto increment there in version 4.0.2 or something.

Yes it is 3.10.1 version. In the mean time I hacked kernel to lock only class attribute table and it works fine.

But it is nice to hear that when we upgrade it will work better without the hack :)
