The usual culprit is memory (if you are using spinning drive as your storage). It appears that you have enough raw memory though. Could you check how much memory the machine has free for disk caching? If it is a relative small amount, let's say below 50GB, then please provide a breakdown of what the memory is used for (very large JVM heap for example). > I want to pinpoint where the performance issue is coming from.

If if is CPU load then you can turn on debug in Solr admin, which should tell you where the time is spend resolving the queries. It it is IOWait then ensure a lot of free memory for disk cache and/or improve your storage speed (SSDs instead of spinning drives, local storage instead of remote). - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark.
