Hello,

After performing server updates on our SharePoint 2016 farm this past weekend we have noticed an extreme degradation in our workflow performance.  We have 3 intensive workflows that run over night, 2 of the workflows normally take between 2 and 3 hours to run, they are now taking 14 hours to complete.  The workflows have not been changed, the only change is the server updates (Standard MS server security updates and a couple of SharePoint Farm updates)  SP Config was completed on each server successfully.  DB server looks normal as well but the sql statements are just coming in slower then expected.

We purged the cache and restarted the timer service on each server as well but no change.  Anything else I should check?

It sounds like jobs got back logged during the maintenance and now the environemnt is working through the backlog.
How many items do you see in the dbo.ScheduledWorkItems table in the SharePoint database(s). These are the jobs that the timer service needs to process.

If I am correct the environment should return to normal once the processing has caught up.
