Would it be accepted if we increase the throughput by running multiple instances of ProteinBoxBot in parallel. If so, what would be an accepted number of parallel instances of a bot to run? We can run multiple instances from different geographical locations if necessary.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Etiquette recommends that you don't make parallel requests. But if you're just going to run another instance of your bot I doubt it would cause any problems.
Could you provide a link to your source code (I didn't see a link on the bot's userpage)? IIRC, you might be using pywikibot, but I don't remember exactly. Myself and other pywikibot developers can help you optimize your code :)

I suppose the latest version is https://bitbucket.org/chinmay26/proteinboxbot/. Pywikibot recently introduced a very simple way of manipulating items and sending back the changes via wbeditentity. If the whole Gene Wiki Project codebase were hosted on gerrit.wikimedia.org, more people could help ;-)
