At the end of this month, I am planning to buy a new server for some of the other stuff that's on the wikipedia server (jimmywales.com/timshell.com/kirawales.com/ and various other odds and ends). Once I get that stuff off of this machine, I plan to isolate this machine from the rest of my network (which sounds fancy but just involves making sure there are no stray ssh keys around) and give login accounts to active developers, including root access to anyone who REALLY needs it.
This will help to remove *me* as the bottleneck to improvements, which I am right now.
In the meantime, here's the latest log of slow queries -- this should be helpful in diagnosing our current problems.
Should I install the latest from the cvs?
