However; the reason the mediawiki is slow is a totally messed up MySql database system, & I don't know how to fix it. I tried for over a year, as the wiki has thousands of pages/articles. Therefore I don't want to move the table structure for this db into the new, properly functioning wiki. Anything else, maybe.
