Is it? :-)
Very unlikely. There's so much nastier things you could do to Wikipedia than slow it down somewhat. Like deleting all the images, or using Special:Movepage to shuffle the article titles.

But I don't think Wikipedia would be attacked in any way because it would be too easy. It is much like the Incompatable Timeshare System. -LittleDan
