Solution:
Check the size of the sonatype-work/nexus/nuget/odata.h2.db file. If it is very large (as in over 1Gb) then you will likely see poor performance when searching for NuGet components. The typical cause for large size is having a "download nuget feed" task scheduled for your nuget.org proxy repository with "fetch all versions" enabled, over time this can cause the NuGet database to grow to where it causes performance problems.
This task is no longer necessary in version 2.10.x and later. If you have this task, remove or disable it, and then rebuild the NuGet database.
To rebuild the NuGet database, follow the steps in the below article:
