It probably makes sense to move to a harder wearing compound, if you haven't already?
Most brakes come with what is termed organic compounds, which offer good braking but wear quickly. Moving to a sintered or semi-metallic compound offers slightly inferior - although you'd be hard pressed to notice - braking, but are harder wearing so last longer.
