I am pleased to announce that the Abuse Filter

I've temporarily disabled it as we're seeing some performance problems
saving edits at peak time today. Need to make sure there's functional
per-filter profiling before re-enabling so we can confirm if one of the
55 active filters (!) is particularly bad or if we need to do overall
optimization.
For a 45 minute window one specific filter was timing out the server
every time someone try to save a large page like WP:AN/I.
We found and disabled that one, but more detailed load stats would
definitely be useful.
