What are the characteristics of your slow queries?  Can you give examples?   
Are the slow queries always slow or only under heavy load?   What the 
bottleneck is and whether splitting into smaller indexes would help depends on 
just what your bottleneck is. It's not clear that your index is large enough 
that the size of the index is causing your bottleneck.

We run indexes of about 350GB with average response times under 200ms and 99th 
percentile reponse times of under 2 seconds. (We have a very low qps rate 
however).
