One issue I have with developing all of these is the
speed of MW
startup. It cannot really be used to make AJAX type requests in its
current form, as pages often take seconds to render. Not sure the best
way to speed this up. The parser seems to be the slowest point in most
of my profiles, but simple too much code to run thru
for AJAX requests at the moment.
Doesn't Julien's program run independently of MediaWiki itself? That
is, I got the impression that the client wasn't sending a request to
index.php, it was sending it to Julien's program, so startup time for
MediaWiki doesn't matter.
