Thanks for your help already!
Hope you're up for some more :-)

Thanks for that. Using it below :-)

Only problem is the second part. So that part can safely be isolated. Also
the following does not play a role at this point: WHERE events2.eventtype_id
IN
(100,103,105,...

Then I went ahead and denormalized the transactionId on both ends, so that
both events_events records and events_eventdetails records have the
transactionId (or NULL). That simplifies the query to this:

	SELECT events_events.* FROM events_events WHERE transactionid IN (
		SELECT transactionid FROM events_eventdetails customerDetails
		WHERE customerDetails.keyname='customer_id'
		AND substring(customerDetails.value,0,32)='1957'
		AND transactionid IS NOT NULL
	) ORDER BY id LIMIT 50;

To no avail. Also changing the above WHERE IN into implicit/explicit JOIN's
doesn't make more than a marginal difference. Should joining not be very
efficient somehow?

The above link nicely shows the hotspots, but I am at a loss now as how to
approach them.

Note sure what that means.
Isn't all the maintenance nicely automated through my config?

Yes, a ton of indexes, but still not the right one :-)
