Why are we discussing ideas on wikitech-l, when we should discuss technology? Guessing belongs in metaphysics, engineering should be about knowing. This is not Big Brother where we vote on what to exclude. We should go out and find numbers from which we can make informed decisions on how to improve the performance, not sacrifice functionality. I'm suggesting ways to find such numbers, but I don't have access to update the source code.
As far as I know it, in the world of IT sometimes you have to use work-arounds instead of finding the problem *temporarily* to make sure systems don't fall below a reasonable performance level. It's not the best idea, and it's not pretty, but it keeps the systems running. This new functionality is great, but if it's hurting the project (I think we're probably losing about 100-200 new articles/day), then it needs to be disabled until a fix can be found so we can at least stay as productive as before the upgrade.
Should I be posting to Wikipedia-L instead?
