Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-03-11 01:11:24 UTC 
Since parsing is so expensive and time-consuming, this page *must* set reasonable limits for itself such that users are not left waiting around only to get the Wikimedia error screen.

If the user asks to test against 10,000 revisions and only 10 can be done in a reasonable time limit then that limit should be imposed, and the user advised that they're only getting 10 and to make a more reasonable request next time.

Problem with this is the unpredictability of parse times, which range from milliseconds for small pages to tens of seconds for large pages.
Comment 2 Andrew Garrett 2009-07-16 16:47:48 UTC 
Marking this bug as Lowest priority.

I've done this in a batch to (usually enhancement request) bugs where:
* It is not clear that this bug should be fixed.
* It is not clear how to fix this bug.
* There are difficulties or complications in fixing this bug, which are not justified by the importance of the bug.
* This is an extremely minor bug that could not be fixed in a few lines of code.

If you're interested in having one of these bugs fixed, your best bet is to write the patch yourself.
