Ed,

we could definitely use your help on wikitech-l, there's a lot of  
optimizable SQL, some tables aren't indexed where they should be, the PHP  
code can probably also use some tweaking. Particularly high load  
operations are internal link resolution (see my recent wikitech-l mail)  
and orphaned pages listing (haven't tested the latter on the main  
Wikipedia because it took so long on my local install).

Regards,

Erik
