Comparing the size to pages-meta-history isn't all that fair since with the images they wont change much, so you only need to do the base copy then on the next run you just need to update/add the appropriate ones that have changed/been added or delete the ones that are gone.
Also does that figure take into the fair use images which we wouldn't be able to dump? -Peachey _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
