Well, I suppose it depends how broadly you define "hacks." But it takes over 30
_seconds_ to render [[Barack Obama]]
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&action=purge>),
largely due to the use of overblown and obnoxious templates like
[[Template:Cite]], from my understanding. I don't know of anyone who thinks
this is acceptably fast.
