However, when I access the replica after a period of time, it's VERY slow/sluggish. If I edit the LocalSettings.php file and disable the 'read only' line, it's lightning fast again. If I then change it back to 'read only', it's still fast but slows down over the course of the night.
You'll get the same behavior if you set mediawiki to cache in memcached but no memcached is running. Maybe the wiki is set to cache in the DB and wgReadOnly prevents writing to the cache so sluggish ensues? I don't have time to dig right now but maybe that's a sufficient hint. ;)
