I have done a small amount of testing, the tests look good. Acccordingly I have started up one process to do dumps; please get your eyeballs on them and let me know thumbs up or down. I'd like to start up the rest of the processes by tomorrow at this time so if you can squeeze in some time to look at them sooner rather than later that would be awesome. Thanks!

p.s. Yes this means I am done travelling for a while, thank goodness. I think I am sick of airplanes. And *very* sick of jet lag.
Irritatingly enough we haven't quite switched all the paths of everything to use php-1.17. For example, the dumps.
So the previous tests aren't very useful. I'm shooting the svwiki dump in process and doing another round of tests with the correct path; after that I'll restart svwiki from its current step and call for community review again. Sorry for the mixup.

We are back in business and running off the new codebase.
Please check the output carefully.
Note that we are on schema version 0.5 now, which includes byte length of revisions. Also please note that leading spaces before /> in xml markup are now removed. Other than that things should look pretty much the same. Please try to get complaints or verfication in by tomorrow at about this time so I can debug or start up the rest of the processes.
Thanks,
Ariel
And one more time...
I noticed that we were seeing a 3 to 4-fold slowdown on sv wiki history dumps in comparison with the previous run. After investigation it appears that this is due to use of XMLReader(). I've rolled that back and we are once again up. I've also restarted dawiki from the middle of its run. Once again, if people could get their eyes on dumps as soon as they complete, that would be greatly appreciated.
