Answer 1

You haven't mentioned which database you're using. Some databases - like MySQL and PostgreSQL - have extremely conservative settings out-of-the-box, which are basically unusable for anything except tiny databases on tiny servers.

If you tell us which database you're using, and what hardware it's running on, and whether that hardware is shared with other applications (is it also serving the web application, for example) then we may be able to give you some specific tuning advice.

For example, with MySQL, you will probably need to tune the InnoDB settings; for PostgreSQL, you'll need to alter shared_buffers and a number of other settings.
