I don't know what caused this, but I love it. Now I can start to promote Wikipedia more actively.

It's good isn't it!

I'm glad someone's getting joy. I'm timing out 4 times out of 5...

I said it WAS good... alas it seems to have ground to a halt again. I went from rapid access to all pages to no access at all. :(

I had similar experiences today - either really fast, or not at all. Strangely, I had a fast page, a link from there (in a new window) timed out, and another one (started some seconds later) was fast again. The only explanation I can come up with is that some requests go to a slow thread/process, which would match with the "really big process" bug we encountered some time ago. Jimbos top-dump showed a zombie process, which was probably it.

Is there a way we can find out if the bad process starts only on certain pages (e.g., the Most Wanted), or if it just happens at random? That would help enormously in error search.
