I'll leave comments on your suggestions to others, but out of interest
what's your db size on disk, memory usage of process, and available
memory? I assume you're seeing either heavy disk usage (on a Unix,
probably asvc_t or similar going up) or high load (which will probably
be caused by things which will also drive disk usage)?
