[Mediawiki-l] Article->getContent() for multiple articles

[a@kid]

Is there any way to Article->getContent() for multiple articles at  
the same time to reduce the strain on the db?

I have a special page that needs to pull content from a dynamic list  
of articles each time the page is loaded. I am currently using  
Article->getContent() to retrieve the latest version of each article,  
but this an inefficient and i am hoping that i can replace this with  
a single db call.

thanks in advance
