Seriously, the bulk of the time needed to parse these enwiki articles is for template expansion. If you pre-expand them, taking care that also the templates in <ref>...</ref> tags get expanded, MediaWiki can parse the article in a few seconds, 3-4 on my laptop. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
