if most of your queries read the majority of the tables, indexing will
be of little help
parittioning will aid in purging old data, as you can partitions by date
(for instance, by week) and drop whole partitions rather than deleting
individual records.
aggregate tables likely will be the biggest win for your statistics if
they reduce the mount of data you need to query.
