indexes, yea, constraints, possibly.

making sure the disk(s) holding the datafile(s) holding the index extent(s) were as quiet as possible? Yes....

Using parallel execution (in the case the delete has a WHERE clause ) Yes...

Peforming the delete while the database server was relatively quiet? Yes....

"Every little bit helps"

Would dropping indexes and (if applicable) disabling constraints on the table, before deleting help ??
