Thanks for the response, but I think you've misunderstood the first
bit.

It's not a log file that is causing the problem, it's the sheer size
of the database reports table.
I have already put logrotate files in place for the rails log files,
and they're fine.

That's an interesting technique, but I'd rather not get into modifying
the application itself to put diagnostics in-line, especially as it's
in production.

For reference, the indexes that I have on the reports table are these:

mysql> show indexes in reports;
+---------+------------+--------------------------+--------------

3 rows in set (0.06 sec)

I've got mysql logging queries that can't use an index, so I'll
analyse that to see if anything jumps out at me.

This table currently has 800MB of data and uses 14MB for the indexes.
