The article "United States" and "Antarctica" (and lots of others) do not render on MediaWiki 1.9.3 release with the 20071018 dumps. I also have a test setup with MediaWiki 1.11 and the performance is very poor vs. 1.9.3.
The errors are mysql timeouts and no useful output from the http logs. I will attempt debug next.
Any ideas on what this could be? The page is:

Dumps prior to September do not exhibit this breakage.
