Hello,

because of the load, the special pages produce, some of them are disabled during 14:00 and 2:00 UTC. Unfortunaly only one of the pages is working with a cache-file (wantedpages). And for most (europe) users the pages are only avalible in the early morning or during working hours.

First of all I though about writing some patches for enabeling caching for the other pages too, but after some time I thought about some more possibilities. And I think it will helps to discuss them before starting coding for the paperbasket.

1. We hope that the serverload will be better sometime, and the scripts (sql-queries) will be so fast that we don't need any caching and every byte is wasted. I don't think so.

2. We use the current system, and add it to some more pages. This will at least have the advantage to have a information about lonlypages, shortpages, ... even if it in the worst case 12 hours old. It's possibly fast to get, because the code is at hand and only some copy and paste is needed.

3. We assume that we can make the queries better, but they still will need a lot of time to run and preventing running some of them in parallel is what we want. Then I think a system filling the cache of these pages in regular intervals is needed. The queries will run every half hour or so, and every user get the cached output.

I expect your comments, Smurf
