A method of deadlock detection is disclosed which adjusts the detection technique based on statistics maintained for tracking the number of actual deadlocks that are detected in a distributed system, and for which types of locks are most frequently involved in deadlocks. When deadlocks occur rarely, the deadlock detection may be tuned down, for example, by reducing a threshold value which determines timeouts for waiting lock requests. When it is determined that actual deadlocks are detected frequently, the processing time for deadlock detection may be reduced, for example, by using parallel forward or backward search operations and/or by according higher priority in deadlock detection processing to locks which are more likely to involve deadlocks.
