Sounds like leaky behavior. Without knowing your general architecture, I can't say what kind of leak, but I might suggest looking at all your tables and seeing if anything seems to have way more rows than you're expecting.

You can also run your sprocs manually in SQL Management Studio, and see which ones are taking so long -- maybe you're running an algorithm whose running time increases with uptime.
