During times when Wikipedia otherwise responds promptly, saving a modification to [[List of mathematical topics]] takes upwards of five minutes, and during that time other Wikipedia searches often also block. (Please do *not* try it out, take my word for it.)
The page contains about 4,300 links, used to keep track of changes in the math area with the "Related Changes" feature.

Today I experienced similar behaviour when editing the German "Pages needing attention" ("Wikipedia:Artikel, die Aufmerksamkeit brauchen") page, which contains lots of links (did not count them, but maybe 500 or more).
After hitting the submit button, Wikipedia was not reachable for minutes - at least for me - the "Recent changes" page says the next change after this happened two minutes later.
Just before that, I edited a page with only about 100 links, and got immediate feedback from the system
