Yes.
Also, are you sure you mean deadlock ? It sounded like this is just a simple lock conflict and not a deadlock.
The first transaction could be blocked on something else (even tho it's not ally short and quick ).
Lock requests are in a queue

Hi,
Could one transaction (one that should be relatively simple and short)
cause another complex, long running transaction (involving INSERTS, on a
table the first transaction may be reading from) to take many orders of
magnitude longer than it would normally? (short of competing for system
resources, like CPU time etc, of course)
I don't believe my scenario involved a deadlock but I expect my short
transaction was probably blocked by my long one. Does it make any sense
that this could very significantly affect the performance of the
non-blocked transaction?
Thanks,
Eric
