I don't see how anyone can say that performance issues
are being ignored. Jimbo bought a new server
specifically for Wikipedia. Mr. Crocker re-designed
the PHP script from the ground up, and Neil has been
running different kinds of bots on the news
server/software to test it under stressful conditions.
Don't you guys read the mailing list? :)

My experience with coders has been in MUDs. Coders
like to make new areas,
tweak races and guilds, etc. Performance issues are
not nearly as
attractive nor is success in dealing with them
easily attainable or
recognizable to others. Like a MUD we are relying on
voluntary coders so,
sure, courtesy is necessary.
But so is focus. Right now Wikipedia is like some
Ionesco play with a dead
body in the room that everyone inexplicably ignores.
