Is this logged in or not? If you're not logged in, you should be hitting Squid cache most of the time, and we should be about as fast as anyone with similar RTT. But you might easily be far away from the nearest Wikipedia server than the nearest Facebook server. And if you're logged in, I'm betting we're much less optimized -- certainly if you have unusual parser preferences (which I'm sure you do), so you miss the parser cache regularly. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
