It's not just that. On a technological level, considerable sections of the FlaggedRevs code are called on *every* page view, whether the page has FlaggedRevs behaviour or not. Even if it's eventually saying "no, carry on normally" in 99% of the cases, the question is still asked. And asked on every one of those six billion pageviews. When the answer is "yes, we need to do something special here", of course, the load that the FlaggedRevs extension applies to the servers increases further, but every extension installed affects performance on every pageview, to a greater or lesser degree. In the case of the site that carries such a huge proportion of our load *anyway*, "lesser" is definitely the degree to aim for. --HM _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
