Hi.
There are over a dozen reports of general slowness with the English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=483631204#is_it_me_or_is_wiki_ver y_slow.3F
As I browsed and edited the site today, I experienced similar issues (painful slowness on intermittent page loads, loading half a page and then stalling, etc.).
Is anyone from ops or engineering looking into this? I've filed a bug about this as well: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35448.
It may be that this is a known issue (due to schema changes or whatever else), but I don't think anyone from ops or engineering has commented on the village pump (or elsewhere?). Can someone please take a look at what's going on?
