Changing to use the cache directory did indeed work fine, and thanks for
the note about the PoolCounter which we'll look into.

cache when used with a high

The DB store for the localisation cache is not really intended for
high-traffic sites, it's intended to make small wikis work out of the
box without extra configuration. For a high traffic site you should
set $wgCacheDirectory to a writable directory, or better still, set
$wgLocalisationCacheConf['manualRecache'] to true and run
maintenance/rebuildLocalisationCache.php each time the code is updated.
To solve the general problem of cache stampedes, you may want to
install the PoolCounter extension:
