Would restarting any of the servers periodically

Suppose it takes X minutes to restart a server, and that the "lag" problem puts
Wikipedia out of operation for Y minutes -- where X << Y. Maybe then this would be a
good "band-aid" for the problem.
It takes all of a couple seconds to restart apache; I've set it to do a
"graceful" restart every half hour during US daytime, which more or less
coincides with our peak hours.
