Hi I am not sure if this is of any help but have you cleared the common words, cleaned the dictionary and the index? Becuse my Php appears to slow down if it's not kept really clean and tempory files appears to almost grind it to a halt.
In the stats pages some searches have exeeded forty seconds but they are when someone does an EXACT search, so exact searches take longer.
Not forgetting that in my area of the world it is sometimes easier and quicker to place the bytes into a bucket and drive to the server. Telecoms Broadband isn't very wide.
