HOW CAN I IMPROVE DATA MINING PERFORMANCE?

Use SQL Server Analysis Services for what it does best: store and provide models

Use Best Practices for SQL Server Analysis Services as published by SQLCAT http://sqlcat.com (requires as much professional study as you would like to invest)

Practice model parsimony (requires as much mathematical study as you would like to invest)
