-- MySQL-based view counters have been disabled: they are incredibly inefficient,

-  disables them), and will be removed in a future release of Mediawiki.
-- Localisation caching has been switched from MySQL to file-based. MySQL-based
-  L10N caching 'just works', but it is also inefficient (1 query per localizable
-  string per page view), and unlikely to be used in high-concurrency deployments.
-  This setting is also used by Wikipedia.

-Each of these modifications improves performance under all tested runtimes: PHP5,

-L10N caching are because of contention within MySQL server.
