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.
