So you don't know if there's a relation with this error and performance issues.
What else did you investigate?

There are several ways to improve the performance of your ServiceNow instance. Here are some steps you can take:
1. **Identify the Issue**: Use the system logs to identify the errors causing the performance issues. You can access these logs through System Logs > All in the navigator.
2. **Optimize Scripts**: Review and optimize any custom scripts running on your instance. Poorly written scripts can significantly impact performance.
3. **Business Rules**: Ensure that business rules are optimized and are not running unnecessarily. Avoid using global business rules as they run on every table.
4. **Scheduled Jobs**: Review the scheduled jobs running on your instance. If there are jobs that are not necessary or could be run less frequently, adjust their schedules.
5. **Database Indexing**: Ensure that your database is properly indexed. This can significantly improve the performance of database queries.
6. **Data Archiving**: Archive old data that is not frequently accessed to reduce the size of your database and improve performance.
7. **Attachments**: Large attachments can slow down your instance. Consider implementing a data policy to limit the size of attachments.
8. **Use Performance Analytics**: ServiceNow's Performance Analytics can help you identify performance issues and track the impact of your optimization efforts.
9. **Upgrade to the Latest Version**: ServiceNow regularly releases updates that include performance improvements. If you're running an older version of ServiceNow, consider upgrading.
10. **Contact ServiceNow Support**: If you're still experiencing performance issues after taking these steps, contact ServiceNow Support for further assistance. They can help identify and resolve complex performance issues.
