I rebuilt using the current git head, i was expecting 20131230 but I got 5.20140102-gd93f946. The problem is still there:

This doesn't seem to be proportional to the repository size or anything. pid 28910 is /srv/books, a moderately small repository. 29550 is my video repository and 29673 is my music.

I suspect this is because I build git-annex myself. I am guessing that the ghc version I am using doesn't build with the proper thread patches and so on. I will try the backport to see if it fixes the issue.
