While not as pretty it's more compact to convert timestamp values into an bigint. For example: seconds since epoch. If you know the ranges to put in the query then store them this way and thus save on some storage, and therefore improve performance.

As mentioned if you are not interested in "closed" queries get rid of them. put them in another table. That reduces the number of rows and hence the query time.
