Is it just my imagination, or has Wikipedia been running faster and smoother since Sysop SQL queries were disabled?
In any event, someone somewhere did something right. Thanks for all the efforts.

Sysop SQL queries on the database are now disabled. If people have an urgent need to perform queries and know what they're doing, we may be able to open up access on an individual basis, but please be aware that SQL offers many ways to shoot yourself in the foot. Allowing this access at all is a foolish thing that we do in the spirit of openness (like letting anyone edit our website ;) but we can't afford to have the site go down whenever somebody makes a typo.
