interwiki uses the templates=True and langlinks=True functionality provided by APISite.preloadpages >>> site.preloadpages(pageGroup, templates=True, langlinks=True) However, it does not work. Continuation for langlinks & templates fails. Only the revisions continuation is performed. I presume it has never worked, as the commit that added it did not do anything related to handling of multiple continuations http://git.wikimedia.org/commit/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/aa8739dc5ff876b71e42cc8158df42f2860261c8
Change 173499 had a related patch set uploaded by John Vandenberg: Preloading tests https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/173499
As far as I can see, only interwiki uses this. This bug is not causing errors, but langlinks & templates are not being preloaded, so interwiki is operating much slower than it would in compat.
Support for multiple continuation has been added here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55193
