Dear friends, 

We have been working for some months in a wikidata project, and we have found an issue with edition performance, I began to work with wikidata java api, and when I tried to increase the edition speed the java system held editions, and inserted delays, which reduced edition output as well. 

I chose the option to edit with pywikibot, but my experience was that this reduced more the edition.

At the end we use the procedure indicated here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit#Example

With multithreading, and we reach a maximum of 10,6 edition per second. 

my questions is if there is some experience when has been possible to have a higher speed?.

Currently we need to write 1.500.000 items, and we would require 5 working days for such a task.

Best regards
