Thanks for your quick response. I forgot to say though that I'm not actually connecting against Wikipedia servers, but my own server.
I found the problem as well: I'm using the Tooltip extension, and it turns out that adding too many tooltips is what made the server stop responding, not the article size per se. Probably the parsing of the tooltips are somewhat resource intensize. Posting without any tooltip code works fine with far greater article sizes.
