Our limiting factor isn't network bandwidth; thanks to Jimbo we have an
obscene amount of available bandwidth. It's processing time and memory
(where using up memory means we have to grab stuff from the disk more,
which is slower and uses more processing time). It's the database
(particularly mass operations like searching, watchlists, most wanted,
orphans, etc) and the wiki->html parsing that need to be better optimized.
Just out of curiosity, does the database run on the same box as
the webserver, or is it on another one?
