The German toolserver is in the same rack as the
European proxies, but
it's not better because edits and API requests have to go to Tampa.
So it seems it's not any faster to run bots form German Toolserver
than from our own, local one, as long as you don't use the database -
am I right? Many people use TS to run their bots on it - including
myself. Wouldn't some local TSs help balance the load?
Maybe. The editing load would still be in Tampa. Mighta be that multiple
TSes would still be faster as there is more RAM for the pywikibot stuff.
