tips for optimizing a read-only sql database

Question

I have a mid-sized SQL Server 2008 database that has actuarial data in it. All of the use cases for it are read-only queries. Are there any special optimizations I should cons

Answer 1

For a read-only table, consider altering the indexes to use a fill factor of 100%.

This will increase the amount of data on each data page. More data per page, fewer pages to read, less I/O, thus better performance.

I like this option because it improves performance without code changes or table changes.
