    I originally had this query with an OR clause instead of the UNION,
which made it amazingly impossibly slow, with the UNION it's far faster
however it's still very slow,(10,000+ rows in both stables), is there a
way to speed this up?  I have BTREE indexes on all concerned fields of
the tables, but it doesn't seem to use any of them...

    I have another query that joins the result of this with 5 other
tables, unfortunately that one takes like 10 minutes...  Any suggestions
on optimizations would be very appreciated.
