Hi, since a few days the french wikipedia was sensibly

slower than normal,

but now he is almost dead : it take minutes to view

a pages or the

request timeout.

Is there any particular reason for this? Looxix

Of course just a few instant after that I sent the

mail, the french pedia 'react' again normally.

Sorry for the disturbance.

I rejoin Luc

In the past three days, the french wiki has quite frequently some times when it comes to an halt

Yesterday, it has been nearly dead for half an hour Basically, it has now been stuck for half an hour

I don't know what the other international notice, but I do know it is bad, very bad

There is no way we can make promotion in that situation. That would be suicidal. Where is the problem ? Is someone launching many queries these days ? Do we need to disconnect further stuff ? Some of the special pages ? Or what ?

This is very serious
