Of course you mentioned that you are using 7.4.7. You might want to try
upgrading to 8.1.3. There have been a lot of improvements to the
performance since 7.4. I don't know if your specific problem was fixed,
but it's worth a try.
Also you might want to at least upgrade to 7.4.12 for the bug fixes.
