If you have a very popular query, such as average rainfall for last year per region, create a materialized view (snapshot) for this. More advanced (and more relational) solution would be using index. I'm not sure if built-in indexes for "group by" are readily available yet off the shelf, but with extending indexing feature you can certainly program one.
