Sitecore 7.5 SQL Session Deadlocks

Recently, I was getting this error in one of our Sitecore 7.5 instances: ERROR Failed processing expired items. Session type: d027da82-f6a4-4275-bb09-8bd3732d828e Transaction (Process ID 127) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

Explore Mode (AKA Sitecore Experience Explorer)

In Sitecore 8, the Experience Editor has an "Explore mode". It allows Sitecore users to impersonate visitors to their website, and provides an easy means of experimenting with marketing features to see how the site would behave in different scenarios.
