Your posting suggests performance was good until a few weeks ago when it deteriorated, is that a fact?
In the affirmative case you may want to find out what happened around the time performance went bad.
- Any major data load?
- A new application went live?
- Did you lost some indexes?
- Are your performance stats up-to-date?
- Any kind of maintenance or reorganization happened around that time?
A follow up question would be... did performance got deteriorated and then got in a bad but stable state or does performance continues to deteriorate over time?
