So why didn't you just ask Wikipedia?

OK, so maybe that wasn't so helpful an answer. My guess is that it's
partly really heavy utilization; something that grows this fast and is
this large must always be on the verge of not having enough hardware.
Now, I'm not a database jockey, but one could wonder whether MySQL
itself (or their specific implementation) plays a role. I know that
wikipedia slowness seems to come and go...
