This is the usual problem we're facing with the wiki VM: it's overloaded with bots or SEO crowds of people trying to create accounts.
There isn't much we can do, since the traffic doesn't originate from just a few IP addresses. At some point, I think we will have to make the VM get more CPU power and esp. I/O bandwidth to better handle the load. For now, I can only recommend to try at a later time. Thanks.
