I personally run my own server (AMD opteron).. but i get a lot of hits. perhaps you should try to find a hosting provider that will offer you up some of the options that mediawiki allows for, memcached, eAccelerator or something similar. other then that your pretty much SOL for speeding it up, mediawiki already stores a cached version of the page in the DB and caches some of the other things it uses often.
<shameless plug> I run some hosting and I have memcached running for a couple other wikis I host if you wanted to switch over http://thrashcorp.com </shameless plug>

hi there
I would like to get some information about performance of the mediawiki software. i'm started with a wiki under my domain "heavy.ch" and recive rendering-times between 0.1s and 8s, but with _no other trafic_.
I guess my provider got some performance troubles if it start to get over 1s. are there any "performance-tweaks" possible? but i'm not able (allowed) to change any memory-configirations or other os-based tweaks, coz' it's just hosted and i do not got my own server running.
im using the latest beta4, with no caching mechanism (or proxy like squids). also i can not tell you how many visits i have to count on in the future. it would be just nice if i would receive some expirence reviews from other wiki-webmasters on their own sites.. thanks!
