We're a Big MyISAM Shop, But...

We have 600 instances of MySQL using MyISAM and it has worked fine for us for more than a decade, so we're not interested in switching to InnoDB. Well, not much anyway. In our opinion, InnoDB is a bloated, fly-infested warthog sweltering in the hot sun, but it does one thing well: row-level locking. After ten years of using MyISAM, we're finally running into some complex queries (very complex!) that are locking up our databases. Sometimes we get tons of "locked" queries stacked up waiting for one complex one to finish.

We don't want to convert the whole database to InnoDB. There are 2000 tables. We suspect that there are only 15-20 tables that really need to be converted. What's the best way to analyze these super complex multi-multi-join queries to determine which tables are actually causing our problems?
