I am receiving in my SQL Server environment this messages in the SQL Server Logs: WARNING: EC 20c88098, 4 waited 300 sec. on latch 42cad3f0. Not a BUF latch. Right now we have problems with slowness in an application that runs a stored procedure from this server every time they click a button. Like 20 users run this stored procedure but it takes too long in the application interface to do this stored procedure. I really don't understand this message can someone understand it?

As referred by Brad follow the KBA 310834 which addresses the cause of these errors and ensure you've tackled them to resolve. Best bet is also go thru event viewer log for additional information. If nothing fetches fruitful results MS Support is the last resort.
