"Makes blocks"? You mean that the INSERT operation is blocked, and you
have to cancel the operation to continue?

When the situation occurs, use sp_who from Query Analyzer, and see if
any process has a non-zero value in the Blk column. In such case, the
process listed in Blk, blocks the spid of that row.
