Well, generally you'll find tweaking the database to be the biggest bang for
the buck.
In my experience, the biggest bang you'll find on the server itself is disk
I/O.
Make sure your logs are on a separate physical disk (or set of disks) from
your data file.
Use RAID 1 or 10 for logs (and often for data.)
More memory can help.
