Slow bool query

[BS1 (BS)]

The following request takes at least 500ms every time we execute it. This is on a an index with 5 primary shards of 1.2GB each. Is there anything in the query that would explain the slowness ? The cluster is otherwise performant. We're still running ES 2.4.1.

Parent/Child + Nested fields (sort) are most likely the ones I'd think about.

I remember seeing similar problem with the project that I am working on.
Initially, we were using parent-child documents where the search response times are way higher. We migrated to nested structure and noticed considerable change in the search response times.
