    First, let's define what large is and also what very slow means. A very large database would be in the terabyte range - but if you have several hundred gigabytes then there are some things you should be doing to improve performance.

    Generally, I would have to say most performance issues are related to improper indexing and usually there are opportunities for improving performance by tuning the queries.

    Until you get into the terabyte range - there really is no reason to start looking at moving to multiple servers/databases for performance reasons.

  • Also, dividing the database among servers might not work. It depends on your application.

    You probably should hire a consultant to evaluate performance and help you improve the speed at which things work.
