I appreciate the response. We're running tomcat/apache at the moment. All of these questions are good, however it doesn't really explain why this would be happening so suddenly and why there is such a wide difference between POST and GET. Do you have any other thoughts that i could investigate? Some of these queries are taking almost 20 seconds to return, but running them as GETS returns them in under a second (we've even restarted servers to ensure query caching was cleared).
We are running a nightly build - we might try a newer one. I will try and get some more info for you but any other insight would be helpful.
