Start with showing us the access configuration please.

So far all we can say is "well, you start with optimizing the order",
but can't point you at particular details. For example do you have
several million regex patterns being processed? or a slow DNA lookup?

Once the order is streamlined for minimal tests performed it is easier
to debug test and see where the remaining bottlenecks are.
