Given the importance that MediaWiki people have

do you think we could/should do on the performance side of the framework?
Our main bottleneck is a social one: the limit on the number of
changes per minute is not dictated by the interpreter, nor by
mediawiki, but by the community. This is not true for bots that read
much more than they write, but for those bots, the network connection
(rather than the interpreter) is the limiting factor.
And then the question is: does it provide enough benefit for the
additional maintenance cost? Based on this analysis, I'm inclined to
say no.
