Just an FYI.. I only have ~130 users on my intranet MW install. I made an article that I thought would be useful, so I emailed it out to a wide audience, and ended up slashdotting my own wiki server. I didn't get that many hits, I don't think, but each one was trying to render that same page, and it ended up filling memory and the paging file. I installed Squid shortly after that.
The lesson: Don't wait for performance requirements to demand it. ;-)

Out of curiosity, has anyone experimented with configuring cacheing within apache itself?

It is my understanding that squid takes advantage the same pragma headers that mod cache can look at - I wonder if there is an intermediate configuration that can be tuned and recommended without having to install a separate proxy server.
mod_cache is something I plan to look at in conjunction with MW as soon as performance requirements demands it (and time permits ).

It's also certainly worth looking at installing Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org) if you haven't, yet. That made a huge difference on the MW install I've got on an intranet at work, and also reduced the memory footprint.

did you try installing the PHP booster Turck MMCache? I'm not allowed to on my shared server - but it appears to give performance a big boost.

MediaWiki 1.3.9 and 1.4beta4 are very slow and uses too many CPU cycles and memory compared to other wikis. The database schema, as I see it, seems to be inefficient. Are there any changes planned for 1.4 final to increase performance?
