At [[Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#update]], someone is claiming that at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#any work on the incredible sluggishness of deeply edited articles?]], someone is claiming that the problem has nothing to do with page size or template transclusion, but rather, with the length of an article's history list. I don't believe this for a minute, but if it's a rumor with legs I suppose we'll be hearing it for a while...
It is completely untrue. Please correct all of it. As a matter of facts, you can point them to [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]], probably the page with the largest history... and without problems :-)
The history size does give problems at other actions as deleting them. But not there.
