[Mediawiki-l] rendering speed and performance issues

[Mike Valstar]

I personally run my own server (AMD opteron).. but i get a lot of hits.  
perhaps you should try to find a hosting provider that will offer you up 
some of the options that mediawiki allows for,  memcached, eAccelerator 
or something similar.  other then that your pretty much SOL for speeding 
it up, mediawiki already stores a cached version of the page in the DB 
and caches some of the other things it uses often.

<shameless plug>
I run some hosting and I have memcached running for a couple other wikis 
I host if you wanted to switch over http://thrashcorp.com
