One word of warning that I found when I added the appropriate
indexes... Mysql is a bit funny about adding indexes and
instead of creating a new index alongside the existing data
it clones the table schema (with the new index added) and
then copies the entire data from the old table to the new
(hidden) copy. Once it has finished copying it renames the
new table and gets rid of the old copy.

The upshot is:

a) specify all of the changes in one SQL statement (the
online mysql manual for altering tables gives you the syntax)
b) make sure that you have enough space in your database
partition for 2 copies of the tables that you are adding
indexes to.
