Or the database has just grown pass the size where disk caching is
efficient. Usually these are nonlinear processes, i.e. it works good
until a certain moment and then cache hit ratio decreases dramatically
because all of a sudden content starts heavily competing about space
in the cache.

Can we please see the full DDL of table and indexes?

The only additional idea I can throw up at the moment is looking at a
combined index on (primarykeyofchange, category) - maybe replacing
changehistory_idx4 - but that of course depends on the other SQL used
against that table.

Kind regards
