  Have you tried -pc_type hypre   and then -pc_type gamg ?

  Where does your problem come from? What physical models and what type of discretization?

Now when I run with -snes_type newtonls -snes_monitor -ksp_monitor -ksp_monitor_true_residual -ksp_converged_reason -snes_converged_reason -pc_type lu -snes_linesearch_monitor the SNES converges fairly quickly and there are no problems with the line search.  I also ran with -snes_type test -snes_test_display, at various initial guesses, and in all cases the hand-coded Jacobian agreed well with the finite difference Jacobian.

However, when I increase the grid size, even by a factor 2 in each dimension, the KSP no longer converges with the default options (neither the preconditioned residual nor the true residual decrease from about iteration 6000 onward).  Should I move on to looking into the linear solver?
