Yes, and in the good old days when we where using the modwiki's there where never server problems.
Is it really so a good idea to put all wikipedias on the same server?
That's a good point. Maybe we could have one database, many servers? Postgres transactions impose no overhead in terms of cpu cycles, yet they guarantee atomic transactions; just what we need for such a distributed beastie.
There is also code for database replication; maybe subsidiary wikis could do their "reads" from local copies of the database, and their writes would go to the central database? I need to look into the replication code a bit more to see what is practical.
