Is there a way to limit the expensive query to only those last 1000 (or
whatever) results?


I have tried to nest SELECTS but my SQL-fu is to limited to get
anything through the SQL processor :-)

The basics of a subquery are:

SELECT <expensive query>
FROM (
        SELECT *
        FROM table
        ORDER eventtime DESC
        LIMIT 1000
        ) as most_recent_1000

Don't know enough about the other parts, but hopefully this can get you started. :)
