Hurt performance of update/create. May hurt optimizer that is not ideal.

There are better ways to analyze mysql's slow log. Try googling
"analyze mysql slow log". http://hackmysql.com/mysqlsla,
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/09/06/slow-query-log-analyzes-tools/.

There is no silver bullet. Each DB is unique as well as its load.
Queries you show below just useless with explains.
