They've always performed horribly in the past.  Basically we use wget to
get the page and then use apache to serve just that link as a static page.
We've had to do this for almost every release when someone linked to the
wiki directly.

We try to do it as close to the date a possible though because the page
cannot be changed without taking the static option away.
