Optimizing SQL Server Performance - Experience has shown that the greatest benefit in SQL Server performance can be gained from the general area of logical database design, index design, and query design. Conversely, the biggest performance problems are often caused by
deficiencies in these areas. If performance is a concern, it is wise to concentrate on these areas first, since very large performance improvements can often be achieved with a relatively small time investment. While other performance issues such as memory, cache buffers, hardware, etc., are certainly candidates for study, experience has shown that the performance gain from these areas is often of an incremental nature.
