Saving templates, even simple ones are extremely show. My SQL slow queries log
shows multiple describe image tables requests submitted for a single template
page save that take over 2 sec to execute. This results in the page operation
timing out due to the 30 sec. limitation. Several notes:
1) The template page does not refer to an image, so I don't get why describe
`wikiimage` is called multiple times.
2) Describe `wikiimage` executes fine (~0.01 sec.) using the mysql command line
client
