The English Wikipedia slowed down again today.
From 15:28 to 16:13 (US Eastern Standard Time) only 10 edits got through.
Until we figure out what's causing the slowdown, what kind of First Aid measures can we apply?
Would restarting any of the servers periodically help?
Suppose it takes X minutes to restart a server, and that the "lag" problem puts Wikipedia out of operation for Y minutes -- where X << Y. Maybe then this would be a good "band-aid" for the problem.
