The last few days, every so often the wikipedia slows to a crawl and won't load the page change properly. I've 'lost' a few edits that way because it's timed out.
Saving verrryyyy llloonnnggg pages seems to precipitate this. I just cropped off the upload log ([[Wikipedia:Upload log]]) from several gazillion lines each with two links, and it took a few minutes to finish saving, blocking the database until it was done.
*cough*Postgres*cough* Anyone else agree it's time to switch to a database that is just as fast as MySQL, but does row level locking without slowing down any other concurrent database accesses, plus has roll-back and all the other nice ACID features?
