Yes, we do have a large number of unique field names in that index, because they are driven by user named fields in our application (with some cleaning to remove illegal chars).
This slowness problem has appeared very suddenly in the last couple of weeks and the number of unique field names has not spiked in the last few weeks. Have we crept over some threshold with our linear growth in the number of unique field names? Perhaps there is a limit driven by the amount of RAM in the machine that we are violating? Are there any guidelines for the maximum number, or suggested number, of unique fields names in an index or segment? Any suggestions for potentially mitigating the problem?
