Could it be that we're hitting a bandwidth bottleneck on pliny and/or
larousse? The Wikipedias are really slow, but it's not so much the queries
that take long -- the page loading itself is fairly slow. To test
bandwidth, I did a
#wget
http://en.wikipedia.org/tarballs/20030616_cur_table.sql.bz2
and I got only 6-7 KB/s (I seem to remember that I got about 30 KB/s on
the DB download the last time). Anyone got an idea what's going on?
Regards,
Erik
