I have noticed slowness in reading data from SFTP server, I have 10 parallel processes running in the different containers which are reading this data and slowness is usually observed in one container randomly. I am using commons-vfs to read data from SFTP server and I have extended SFTP related classes to add come sort logic. I am using centos-7.9 to host my SFTP server. I have noticed the reader thread is in blocked state and waiting for monitor thread to release lock.

Can someone please guide me on how to fix this issue.
