I don't have the strongest hardware and it is several years old. One solution is to buy new more powerful hardware, but I'm trying to minimize my expense. I'm running on dual 700mhz systems with 1gb ram. The db machine is 4 cpu with 4gb ram. My number of hits per day is running 50k - 150k when a special interest campaign runs. These numbers are trending up. The image store is about 2GB images right now. My image store is growing at about 250mb per month.

So perhaps tuning will help although we have been down the tuning path. I guess a better question is what should we expect for performance and as we grow what can we do to support additional performance other than just buying bigger machines? I'd really like to see some sort solution where I can add more boxes for more capacity. Without that I'm feeling like their is a wall out there just waiting for me to smash into it...
