So this query seems to be going the long way around to do the equivalent of an
IN clause. Presumably because as far as I know mysql didn't support IN
subqueries until recently.

Can you do an "explain analyze" on the above query and the following rewritten
one in 7.4? The "analyze" is important because it'll give real timing
information. And it's important that it be on 7.4 as there were improvements
in this area specifically in 7.4.

SELECT *
  FROM tickets
 WHERE id IN (
       SELECT groups.instance
         FROM groups
         JOIN principals ON (groups.id = principals.objectid)
         JOIN cachedgroupmembers ON (principals.id = cachedgroupmembers.groupid)
         JOIN users ON (cachedgroupmembers.memberid = users.id)
        WHERE users.emailaddress = 'mallah_rajesh@yahoo.com'
          AND groups.domain = 'RT::Ticket-Role'
          AND groups.type   = 'Requestor'
          AND principals.principaltype = 'group'
  )
  AND type = 'ticket'
  AND effectiveid = tickets.id
  AND (status = 'new' OR status = 'open')
ORDER BY priority DESC
LIMIT 10;
