This is a large topic but some keywords you could lookup (taken this is SQL Server):
- (better) indexing
- partitioning
- using filegroups to distribute data across disks
- using well optimized views
- transferring workload to another database using different techniques to copy the data from original db (may not be possible)
- etc etc.
- and last but not least, redesign of the database

I'd say that the key thing is to try to make such modifications which are not visible to the application (expect in response time of course) so using directly multiple db's will cause large redesigns and also typically leads to different kinds of conflict situations.
The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]
