Are you using single file or separate file per table. If this is a web application, separate the database onto another server, move to separate files per table and put the files on separate spindles. Of course, the real next step is to find where the actual bottle neck is. Do you have slow query log enables etc.? What are the results. How critical is the consistency between read and writes. There will be a lag between the master and slave which may or may not be critical.
