For that I have an idea.

In an experiment, when I was programming my own database connection pool, I 
decided to try to have many opened connections in the pool, and use one of 
those connections per query.

That could potentially help you into the blocking process.

I mean, while user A is executing operations in connection A, user B can 
just grab connection B to execute its own operations without affecting user 
A (except if you use transaction and you have locked tables).

That will work also for small operations, when you grab a connection, 
execute actions and return the connection to the pool.

Depending on your use case, this schema may help you also without the need 
for more images, but I insist, even if you fork the expensive processes, 
pharo is still green threaded, so you can't expect it being so responsibe 
under such a heavy load.
