WTF???  4 full updates every 60 seconds? That'll be murdering your 
performance.

You'll be getting a high chance of locking delays which is why your 
checkouts are so slow. - they've got to wait for some time when those 
processes haven't locked the tree, which will be almost never.

Plus you're using up all the CPU all the time so no processing gets done...

Slow them down to a couple of times an hour.  I wouldn't even attempt an 
update schedule like that more than every 15 minutes.

Make sure you're using lockserver which will reduce the locking hits 
(that's not a cure though).
