Start from watching your IO queue in perfmon. Your RAID may be not so
good as you'd expect. BTW, what is your RAID level? 1 or 10 is usually
recommended for databases.
Use separate HDDs for temporary space and database space.
Then consider number of data page buffers. Bigger values are better
for selects, lower - for inserts. You must find balance.
Make page size 8 or 16k. 4k is too small for now.
Your query doesn't use sorting, so tuning of temp (sort) memory
parameters may be less useful.
