Which begs the question; why have Wikimania HK not
budgeted for custom IT??
(ps; if you're seeing these issues a lot it's still not a bad idea to
chuck a cache up in front of the web server)
Sorry, this discussion is totally off-topic. We have done this for a
while and it was never neccessary to have another extra IT just for
Wikimania.
The question at hand is why people don't think about the consequences
before they act, why central notices are created linking to directly to
pages full of business logic without talking with the people who run
that page first.
BTW, in regards to your last mail: That server already does file and
memory caching but the website also has to be programmed appropriately
to make the cache effective.
