The {support_assigned} primary key is currently (uid, nid). This is backwards for two reasons.
A) In general usage, there are many more tickets than users.
B) None of the queries attempt to find nid from uid, but several attempt to find uid from nid.

After discussion with Jermey, added a secondary index on uid so we don't slow down a couple of less common queries.
