Thanks for the help, everyone. Adam, we have Client vars timeout after 20 days. We have had trouble with the purging in the past. Last time I looked I believe we had put in the hotfix for this problem and it was doing fine.

Post-test analysis didn't suggest any changes to the indexes in any way. The rows themselves appear to be retrieved as efficiently as possible. The only real bottleneck seems to be deserializing the key-value pairs back into Client variables once the text columns containing them are passed to ColdFusion on each retrieval. I didn't thoroughly read through all the earlier posts in this thread, but are you expiring your Client variables after one day rather than the default 90 days?
