Click on Query in the Menu , you will find Show Execution plan click on it. or a press Ctrl+k after selecting you query. you will be displayed the execution plan of the query you have selected.

Depending on the settings , you will be displayed the cost of running the query with the intermediate steps it takes. most of the time by creating proper indexes you can fine tune your query. overall there is nothing like a good desing in getting a efficent system.

there is an article by Graz on performance tuning ,follow this link
