gollark: And pages may contain MANY links.
gollark: Well, yes, they complete in probably a millisecond at most, but the aim is for all sane operations to take under 40ms.
gollark: However, these are not *that* fast and on larger high-link-density pages could increase rendering time substantially, and good rendering performance important?!
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: So, I can probably fix this if I make the page rendering step do some database lookups to case-insensitively match things (instead of statelessly generating slugs) and check aliases.
