Well, as over time the various wikis get larger and bring in bigger
audiences, their database needs grow. The English wiki, big and slow, is
about the size of the others combined; but the others have been running
with all kinds of features still in place that have been disabled on the
English wiki because they slow things down too much.
As a temporary measure I've turned on the annoying limiter functions
that we've got on the English wiki (no counter updates, several of the
slower special pages disabled) for French, German, Japanese, Swedish,
Dutch, and Polish. These are the biggest ones, and the one's I've been
seeing a lot of slow/stuck database queries running on. (Not user-run
queries, but special pages and searches.)
I also put the French wiki in read-only mode to run checks on the
tables, just in case there was something specifically amiss. It looks
okay (thankfully!) and should be up and running again.
