After some days before Brion mailed some stats of the new server load going down, of course there comes the question: Can we reduce the time e.g. the SpecialPages Maintenance are off service?
Unfortunatly the Pages are not reachable at the after work hours in Europe, and a lot of work waits because the users can't access the pages during the time they can spend in wikipedia.
Of course, I expect this not before the work Lee will do the following week, but I hope someone can calculate the load and evaluate if it will be possible.
