I'm a little surprised that those numbers are so low. ~70 million page views a day is only about 10-15 times the number of page views that the en.wp main page gets, and is way less than the number of page views that Wikipedia gets each day. It's also surprising that the two pages get different numbers of page views a day. Is there caching going on here, or are these pages not loaded upon every access to the site via other means (are they only called by the occasional centralnotice perhaps)?
