Argh! I didn't notice that. Thanks for
pointing that out.
Wouldn't page caching sort this, though?
I have something of a love/hate relationship with caching. It
solves some problems, and it creates others. I'd like to avoid
it if possible, and I think it is possible. But I may be proven
wrong about that if people create lots of other link-fest pages.
Some kind of page-caching is probably a good idea. We should definitely
allow for linkfest pages.
