Hi
Except your day time is other people night time. It would annoy less some, and more others. It would also slow down the server of other people day time. Please, don't forget this. Thanks.

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.
