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.
