6.7.12 will be released very soon. (6.7.11 was cut, but not officially 
released, due to a last minute bug we found.)

6.7.12 has something called Quill. If you are willing to also install a 
PostgreSQL server, condor_q can talk to Quill instead of the schedd. It 
will run faster and will not block the schedd. This should solve your problem.

A lighter solution is to use one of:

condor_status -schedd
condor_status -sub

Take a look at the long (-l) output if you prefer. This will help you get 
summary output quickly, without talking to the schedd.

Either one of these solutions should help you.
