Need help optimizing a query

[xvszero]

I am trying to run a "simple" report and it is taking about 2 1/2 minutes to run. Here is the query:

SELECT idx.* FROM (SELECT idxrecentacct.socsec FROM idxrecentacct INNER JOIN blfcustunq USING (socsec) INNER JOIN blfacct USING (class, account) WHERE idxrecentacct.company='BLF' UNION SELECT idxrecentacct.socsec FROM idxrecentacct INNER JOIN aaacustunq USING (socsec) INNER JOIN aaaacct USING (class, account) WHERE idxrecentacct.company='AAA' UNION SELECT idxrecentacct.socsec FROM idxrecentacct INNER JOIN crycustunq USING (socsec) INNER JOIN cryacct USING (class, account) WHERE idxrecentacct.company='CRY') idx 

INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM aaaviewerblfmailmarketing UNION SELECT * FROM aaaviewercrymailmarketing UNION SELECT * FROM aaaviewerallmailmarketing) aaaviewer ON (idx.socsec = aaaviewer.socsec)

The top half returns about 42,000 rows in about 2 seconds. I am trying to join it to another part that, on its own, returns about 10,000 rows in less than 1 second. Yet when I make the join, it takes 2 1/2 minutes. I'm assuming this is because they are both derived tables and therefore they are not indexed? Is there any way around this?

I ran an EXPLAIN EXTENDED and this is what I got. Not really sure how to read it:

Hello,
Why don't you join each of aaaviewerblfmailmarketing, aaaviewercrymailmarketing and aaaviewerallmailmarketing with 3 selects of the idx select query

So in the end you'll have 9 select statements with UNION

But I guess that will be faster and no Table scan will occur if you have appretiate indexes
