What are some query performance troubleshooting tips?

Can you please provide some query performance troubleshooting tips? For example, when most of my users are reporting that queries are running longer than expected time, what can I quickly check to find the source of the issue?

    I would start with the current list of sessions and queries executed.
    Maybe a web frontend is running a "attack" on Vertica.
    Next step should be the system performance.
    Is everything healthy? RAID Controller with healthy cache? BatteryBackupUnit?
    AWS EBS slow?
    Only after these checks I would dive into the data and tables itself.
    Maybe recent changes on projections or the amount of data getting ingested changed.
