Hi, Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately since I wrote my e-mail, things are a bit better.
This might be because I moved from openjdk 7 to oracle jdk 8 after having seen a warning in the C* log about openjdk, and I also added a node (for other reasons). Now the query itself takes only 1.5s~2s instead of the 5s~6s it was taking before.

Would that mean this is a network issue? -- Brice Figureau <brice+cassan...@daysofwonder.com>
