Thanks.
I am aware of that solution & in fact it is my preferred method for
moving a wiki. 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.
