I wont repeat the other stuff... But one tip that hasn't yet been mentioned, see where you can totally avoid database use altogether. If you have areas of the app that keep hitting the database when the data is always the same or changes rarely, such as setitngs, global variables and the likes. Just bung this data into an XML file instead, load that in and cache it or convert it into a structure E.G application.config. Depending on if this is an Access or SQL Server database, you may find some advantage in extracting other data to XML files and using those as well.
