I have a summary table with a 9 field composite primary key. Every 10 minutes, my system generates 2 files of 500,000 to 750,000 rows to be summarized into this table. I first Bulk insert those into a temp table, and then trigger an inner-join update query to do the updates, followed by a left-outer join to do the inserts. As the day goes on, millions of rows in my summary table, this process is too slow. Any ideas about causes/solutions???

What indexes do you have on the summary table?This would be useful to know as this can have a big impact.
