Brion, would you please take a look at the French Wikipedia database. Is it tangle up with long-running queries? Is it slowed down by persistent connections?
Maybe it just needs a reboot. Jimbo talked recently about setting up a chron job to reboot it once an hour during certain hours of the day.

Hu, no. You are not.
Actually, what I did was to delete these pages...
He didnot put many of these, I had no way to know who
he was, nor to communicate with him. I did not want
him to create endless empty pages, unlikely to be
filled before long (architecture stuff, we have no
architect around !)
I thought maybe he would notice...maybe is that a
wrong move, dunno...
There's one thing I know though.
It is now more than a week that the french wikipedia
is basically not usuable in the evening. All the usual
evening participants don't participate any more.
