How many hits an hour do we get during primetime?
About 8-11 wiki page hits per second, so ~30000-40000/hr, on
www.wikipedia.org at peak times.
Most of these should be cached pages, but we still have to check the
database to make sure the cache is current.
Why? surely in a system of this nature you can simply update the cache as
the final step of the edit process. Are there circumstances under which
that is likely to get out of synch? I guess it could be backed up by a
background synch checker once a day.
