Hi Brent, You said "from what I can tell there is no disk, network, or memory pressure " - maybe you can share what and how you checked this? (see my signature for a tool that can help with this)
I'm asking because the above is in conflict with "responses from solr still come back with a <10ms qtime", which indicate search itself was fast, but either disk or network were slow. Try with rows=<big number here> and rows=0 and that will give you an idea where to look.
