As I wrote you by private mail, I think people would be much more willing to accept a temporary deactivation of the sysop SQL feature, which, if at all, should be run on a separate machine (possibly a mirror, could really be 1-2 days out of date).
I have only very rarely seen slowdowns caused by sysops making SQL queries, whereas the special pages and the search cause much more continuous states of slowness as they are constantly pounded on.
As for the search itself, I would like to know *why* it is slow. A simple title search should really cause no problems.
Becuase they don't happen in isolation; there are a lot of searches.
