Just another thing to check: Fast or list threads might need to be increased. When there aren't enough threads available, a single intensive query could hold up things pretty badly on the server (my experience is on 7.5). You could take a thread log to see if they're all used up; in 7.5 you can adjust threads via the Server Admin console; don't know about 7.1 nor whether that's advisable without a change window.
