Scalability happens, when performance grows in linear mode with hardware
and even uses some synergy. This is one of mediawiki performance development
goals. Make it distributed as much as possible. Make it as async as possible.
Taming cheap horsepower is a challenge, but it helps project to work on low
budget. There are guys in this project working with large systems, who are
really skilled system administrators (though, maybe not second-generation
ones :), and who know meanings of 9's after comma. Sure, you've got possibility
to brainstorm and bring all kinds of ideas, but we aware, that those won't be
accepted as absolute truth. People do not need prophets when critical thought is
involved :) Though, any contribution to development is here highly appreciated.
Cheers,
