[Moin-user] I18N wordlists and memory usage

Maybe this is because perl and php are ugly enough most people don't do 
really big stuff with them. <g>

Maybe get a root server so you won't have a whining provider.

If that's too expensive, get a root server together with some other people.

What exactly do you want to do with your wiki install? Topics? Expected 
traffic? Expected space usage? Count of wikis? You know, we are hosting 
moin wikis. <g>

Some moin operations are using more CPU than a wiki like usemod or 
phpwiki, not being as capable as moin, would do.

Every feature has its price, some more, some less.

But again, this is not python related. I can tell you, I also had to 
disable emacswiki on our server due to extremely high cpu load - and 
that is in perl, using much less code than moin.
