Which begs the question; why have Wikimania HK not budgeted for custom IT??
(ps; if you're seeing these issues a lot it's still not a bad idea to chuck a cache up in front of the web server)
Sorry, this discussion is totally off-topic. We have done this for a while and it was never neccessary to have another extra IT just for Wikimania.
The question at hand is why people don't think about the consequences before they act, why central notices are created linking to directly to pages full of business logic without talking with the people who run that page first.
BTW, in regards to your last mail: That server already does file and memory caching but the website also has to be programmed appropriately to make the cache effective.
