Send me the URL's for the buglists and i'll look at the queries (The url
for the buglist contains the query).
A lot of this is mysql's query engine being stupid, and is hopefully
fixed in 4.x or 5.x (sourceware is still on 3.x).
I'm happy to optimize the searchs as best i can (by adding lame extra
indexes if necessary :P)
