Thanks for the reply, Jay.

I have spent some time revamping the database choosing optimal data types instead of being so generic. New indexes on key fields have also been added. These changes have already seemed to greatly improve the time the queries take to run. There is just mostly a question on if having millions of rows in a single table is just bad database design or not, even though it seems it is unavoidable. Does having data fields with the potential of null dramatically decrease performance that much?
