After some expected growth on our service, suddenly some updates take a very long time, they were pretty fast until the table reached about 2 million records, now they take about 40-60 seconds each.
update table1 set field1=field1+1 where id=2229230;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (42.31 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0
The following are the types of fields:
`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`field1` int(11) default '0',
The result from profiling, for context switches, which is the only one that, apparently, has a large number of results:

The table is about 2.5 million records, the identifier is the primary key and has one unique index in another field (not included in the update).
This is the innodb table.
any pointers to what could be causing?
Any specific variables that can help track the problem?
Is there an explanation for updates?
EDIT: , :
`modDate` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
