But, I understand from the developers postings on <a href="http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l" rel="nofollow">Wikien-l </a> that the number of articles is not the major factor in slow down, it's just the number of active simultaneous editors and simultaneous readers. To serve the heavy hits requires <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers" rel="nofollow">quite a lot of hardware</a>. That meta page shows 10 more new servers are on order. At the moment, Wikipedia seems responsive, at this early hour on Saturday MYT. I try to limit my online postings/articles to those that I wouldn't be sorry to be associated with in real life. ;-) Thanks for dropping by, moo_t.

I frequently leech google cache to dig the wikipedia articles. About the be lated answer for your question whether to be anonymous for a wikipedia article, it depends on the nature of the article. I am not afraid of leaving my wiki user name for most article, but for sensitive local issue, I turn anonymous. Better be safe than sorry. Not a good news since wikipedia server are overwhelming now.
