The biggest help I found was trading in my 486/66 for a P100!
A more useful thing I found was that running a report from the designer is very slow in the "initializing report" phase unless you exit the designer and then re-enter it to run the report. I'm not sure why, but this is something I noticed. Other than that, the only suggestion I have is to read the "tuning" section in the manual.
Good luck,
