Thanks for your reply. Do you know other option?

We are currently getting every wikipedia revision by monitoring "api.php?action=query&prop=recentchange", and get both wikitext and HTML of the revision. From the comment of code, it seems we want to reduce the number of requests to api.php, so we are fetching HTML without using api.php.

I haven't looked at the performance recently, but i suspect this api call would be more efficient: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=parse&oldid=659536

If not, please let me know what performance issues you have seen.
