Hi Ravyn
(Sorry for the direct reply, this one goes to the list instead)

In our experience, and I am sure that many here will agree, there are
then several things you could look at DBS, Geoserver, caching, and
clustering - the usual culprit we see is "poor" database design. The
reason I say "usual" is that people often focus on tuning the front
end - ie. GeoServer or GeoWebCache - and forget the backend.

Most DBS support some sort of spatial index - in my experience the
best and easiest are found in PostGIS, whereas for instance MSSQLs
implementation needs to be (continuously) hand-tuned. If you have some
common filters you use (either from Geoserver or in a WHERE-clause)
then make sure that these are analyzed and properly index accordingly.

Maybe you could give us a little more detail on your database system/setup?

Please do not do that, GeoServer comes with a built-in GWC which
should suit most needs.
