I realize it's got a comment that it's slow, but I just requested (by
title) the page Texas. It's been running about 5 minutes now with no
response. Is it failing under load?
I've been running some of the scripts yesterday, and they were *way*
more responsive. It seems the text access is slowing them down today.
After all, not only the page text, but also the templates (and
sub-templates and so on) have to be loaded.
Sadly, it does not seem to be possible to load text directly from the
toolserver database for current or recent versions.
