I know. I've been having the same problems. I'm pretty busy these days, and it seems that when I have a few minutes to work on Wikipedia, I can't get anywhere. Today I was trying to pull up some articles on copyright issues, but it was slow to the point of painful.
Are the web server and the database server the same machine?

For the first month or so that I was involved with wikipedia, I found it great fun and very rewarding. Then the response problems started, and the enjoyment I get from it has gradually waned until I am now wondering why I even bother to try and log on. Today, for example, I have attempted to access wikipedia at regular intervals and have never managed to get further than "Recent Changes". Yesterday was the same.
I realise that the software is maintained on a voluntary basis. However, if we can't do any better than this, I think we may as well throw in the towel. What is the point of an encyclopedia that no one is able to read?
