Jamie,

What if you were to forget for a moment the whole pagination idea, and
always capped your search at 1000 results for testing purposes only? This
is just to try and pinpoint the bottleneck here; if, regardless of the
query parameters, the search latency stays roughly the same and well below
5 min, you now have the answer - the problem is your naive implementation
of pagination which results in snowballing result numbers and search times,
the closer you get to the end of the results range. Otherwise, I would
focus on your query and filter next.
