If you can link those entries to the requests from your clients with large calendars, that strongly suggests that these requests are now taking long enough that the client gives up.

As I said in my first message, the problem seems to be with Apple clients. With the above database logging in place, I am still seeing  "Connection aborted - took too long to close:" errors, but no corresponding entries about the database transactions.

On the client side, the errors look like

2/6/15 1:37:43.588 PM CalendarAgent[91270]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.queue] [Account refresh failed with error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost." UserInfo=0x7fe5df29be10 {AccountName=Yyyyy Yyyyyy, CalDAVErrFromRefresh=YES, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fe5df2d2ee0 "The network connection was lost.", NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://distler@golem.ph.utexas.edu:8443/calendars/__uids__/E8983642-8809-5ED0-9EDE-60D056E0A81B/, NSLocalizedDescription=The network connection was lost., _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://distler@golem.ph.utexas.edu:8443/calendars/__uids__/E8983642-8809-5ED0-9EDE-60D056E0A81B/, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-4}]


Could it be that the CLIENT is the one timing out (rather than the server)?
