  That's actually a tough one! There are a lot of books about scalability (such as the O'Reilly ones, which I've read), but they don't really tell you what you probably need to know right now. Mostly it's technology dependent...read up on caching, if you haven't already. Memcached or Redis can make a huge difference in performance. If you let us know your software stack I'm sure there will be an expert to chime in and let you know the simplest hack to get things responding faster right now.
