I don't know your env and its requirements but to me the difference
between sub 1 sec and several seconds doesn't sound worth the effort
changing anything - unless, of course, you have lots of these short
queries executed in sequence and the difference sums up dramatically.

A random list that comes to mind:

- scheduling: make sure the long runners are done during the night or
other time when the DB is mostly idle.

- distribution of data: either via some form of replication or by moving
data from one DB to a complete different system

- optimizing SQL: additional indexes, different query conditions etc.
