Q2A can not receive a lot of visitors

the application has loopholes

My suggestion is to fasten the MYSQL queries and index these tables so that the query time on these is lowered.
Q2A version: 1.7.2

Which queries and indexes are you talking about? All the tables have some indexes on them.

Please check :

/usr/sbin/mysqld, Version: 5.5.47-cll (MySQL Community Server (GPL)). started with:
Tcp port: 0 Unix socket: (null)

SELECT * FROM `isalna_isalna`.`qa_sharedevents`;

SET timestamp=1453153977;
SELECT * FROM `isalna_isalna`.`qa_titlewords`;

Each of these queries is not indexed and is taking even as high as 89 seconds to execute.

I think those must be from a plugin. I cannot see any queries in Q2A core that do a "SELECT * FROM qa_blobs" for example. I don't think any tables are fetched in their entirely except for the options table. Everything else is filtered in some way (e.g. selecting specific blob rows).
