I have never noticed this. I don't think adding a new index will make a
difference.

You could try moving your log files to a different disk array than where
your data is. If you have binary and query logging enabled, it's probably a
good idea.

Johnny is correct. The PRIMARY KEY to an InnoDB table is indeed part of the data:

That explains why there is no length to this index.
