One area I would look into is queries with sub-select statements. In my
case (a small database app) the slowdowns started with more data in the
subselect table. For instance:

Select * from TblCustomers where CustomerID in (Select CustomerID from
tblSomething Where Something=Something) or CityID in (Select CityID from
Something where Something=Something)

With 30000 customers the query started slowing with data being added to
table 'something'. If there were 1-5 records in 'something' it was fast,
but at 100 records in something the query execution time increased 50 times

Anyhow, rewriting the query to use left joins solved the issue for me.

Hope this helps
