    General answers!! Let's say I am your tough boss and you claim that Prod DB is in optimal performance and rock solid. Then I ask you please proof me? What is the measures and benchmark you have? And the boss also told you that "But we still get complain from clients"
    How do you hard convince him?

    This depends on your SLA and what response times you establish. If you establish that screen X has to come up in sub-second time, then use screen X. If report Y has to be done in N minutes, time report Y.

    And the boss also told you that "But we still get complain from clients"

    Obviously you're not meeting your SLA requirements. How can you convice someone that your database is performing fine if your users complain?

    Instead of trying to find out a general answer, work on spceific complaints first.
