Indexing performance degrading over time

We have changed GC from G1 to default (not CMS), and problem disappeared, it seems... Of course, log now has entries from GC about long duration (5-10s), but... cluster works normal, indexing speed is 100M/5min with low LA... Sounds strange.
We decided to switch GC to CMS and later to G1 again to see if the problem will return.
