Saving verrryyyy llloonnnggg pages seems to precipitate this. I just
cropped off the upload log ([[Wikipedia:Upload log]]) from several
gazillion lines each with two links, and it took a few minutes to finish
saving, blocking the database until it was done.
*cough*Postgres*cough* Anyone else agree it's time to switch to a
database that is just as fast as MySQL, but does row level locking
without slowing down any other concurrent database accesses, plus has
roll-back and all the other nice ACID features?
