Most (all?) articles should be already parsed in memcached. I think the
bottleneck would be the compression.
Note however that the ParserOutput would still need postprocessing, as
would ?action=render. The first thing that comes to my mind is to remove
the edit links (this use case alone seems enough for implementing
editsection stripping). Sadly, we can't (easily) add the edit sections
after the rendering.
