Hi, I'd probably start by looking at your nodes and check if the SSDs are saturated or if they have high write access times. If any of that is true, does that account for all SSD or just some of them? Maybe some of the disks needs a trim. Maybe test them individually directly on the cluster.
If you can't find anything with the disks, then try and look further up the stack. Network, interrupts etc. At some point in time we accidentially had a node being reinstalled with a non-LTS image (13.04 I think) - and the kernel (3.5.something) had a bug/'feature' which caused lots of tcp segments to be retransmittet (approx. 1/100). This one node slowed down our entire cluster and caused high access time across the board. 'Upgrading' to LTS fixed it. As you say, it can just be that the increased utilization of the the cluster causes it and that you'll 'just' have to add more nodes.
