I think the only way to tell is to look at more detailed provenance 
information to see what is taking the time.

Alternatively, can you try running it in memory and also with/without 
provenance?

In general yes, although it can be limited by the service type. For 
example, I think you cannot run two R services at the same time because 
of limitations on R server.

That controls how many calls of a service instance can happen at the 
same time. You can certainly increase that if you want. It can be 
dangerous though as some service providers could interpret it as a 
denial of service attack.
