Partioning and lots of indices

Hi All!

I have an InnoDB table with 30M rows and the following structure:
+----------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| FREQUENCY | smallint(5) unsigned | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| JDOID | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | | |
| WORD1_JDOID | int(10) unsigned | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| WORD2_JDOID | int(10) unsigned | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| LANGUAGE_JDOID | int(10) unsigned | YES | MUL | NULL | |
+----------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
and the following indices:
+-------------+------------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |
+-------------+------------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| coincidence | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | JDOID | A | 235509199 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| coincidence | 0 | WORD1_JDOID | 1 | WORD1_JDOID | A | 10704963 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| coincidence | 0 | WORD1_JDOID | 2 | WORD2_JDOID | A | 235509199 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| coincidence | 1 | I_CONCDNC_WORD2 | 1 | WORD2_JDOID | A | 8121006 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| coincidence | 1 | FREQUENCY | 1 | FREQUENCY | A | 15 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| coincidence | 1 | LANGUAGE_JDOID | 1 | LANGUAGE_JDOID | A | 15 | NULL | NULL | YES | BTREE | |
+-------------+------------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+

I've been reading up on partioning and wonder how I can go about it effectively here. I can partition by JDOID since lookups are almost always by WORD1_JDOID or WORD2_JDOID so all partitions would have to be searched every query anyway. I would like to partition by language_jdoid, but the partition key needs to be part of the primary key, right?

Will I get performance improvement by partioning even if it doesn't help the query optimizer ignore certain partions? This table is over 40GB now, so at least it may be possible to load the entire index of a partition into memory at one time...

Any pointer and tips would be greatly appreciated!
