I am building a VERY large cube that will potentially have 150 million records. Currently I have about 1 million and it is already taking a while to build. We may decide to seperate all this data and use 3 cubes, having 50 million records in each. I am using ONE IQD as the data source. Please give me some suggestions to make the build faster as well as the access.

Build your cube for multiple flat files instead of using one IQD. Every dimension should have its own flat file that only contains data for its dimension. Then create on transactional query that has to facts and the lowest level of every dimension. Also, be sure you set the lowest level of each dimension to unique.
