I've got the wikipedia statistics job successfully running on the new server ("geoffrin") now. This has the distinct advantage that the job can be run right after the backup dump instead of waiting many hours for my little aDSL line to download everything to run it on my home box. It takes about 2 hours 20 minutes to run, though a fair amount of this may be from having to read the dump compressed.
Erik, would you mind if I add the stats scripts as a module in our CVS repository, along with my scripts that run your scripts?
