Anthere reports that there is a general impression among the French
that
en.wikipedia.org loads faster than
fr.wikipedia.org. Is this
possible?
Can we run some tests?

I can just say one thing I saw myself, and which was mentionned by
several french people.
When I have several windows open at the same moment, say three
*one open on en
*one open on fr
*one open on
www.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main Page
The first page to load in en.
Several seconds later, it is fr.
And much later wikimedia.
I cant avoid seeing that en pages are often served much quicker than fr
pages.
I know not why. I am sure it is not on purpose. But it is a fact.

I'd prefer read-only mirrors which redirect the edits to the main
server. I don't know the situation at fr: but at de: we use wikipedia.de
not
de.wikipedia.org in press news, so it would be easy to take some
good portion of the traffic off the Florida-servers.
