Myself also faced the problem and after indexing its
resolved.
Try to find out the feild name on which maximum query
executed. Create index on that field it will improve the
performance.
Secondly you may create archiev of you table which stores
the record which is not required and deletion or updation
activity and keep the current table light.

it could be a lack of index, it could be bad storage
parameters, it could be that the select itself is written
poorly.
