Hi Mark, thanks for pointing that out. A better way to test this is
to preview without (necessarily) changing anything, since the article
will still be available to anyone else who requests it during the 34s
it takes to parse it. Sucks that we should have to think about that,
but that'll hopefully be one of the things that this fixes.
I haven't yet looked at how the article is written
or the templates
used, but perhaps that would be a good place to start looking.
I'm pretty sure that all of the {{Cite}} templates are the major
consumers on that page. Maybe we can just get people to stop citing
their sources ;-)
