So this increases the frequency of dumps for small wikis, great.
But this means that the time beetween two dumps of the big wikis is _at_least_ the sum of the times needed to dump each one of the big wikis... more than 10, 12 weeks, not counting any failure ? I don't think that you really want to do this
Exactly. The only way you can speed up the smaller dumps is the slow down the bigger ones (or throw more money at the problem), and no-one has given any reason why we should prioritise smaller dumps.
