It is possible that fcgi was upset about something, as restarting that
seems to have made things better, but I'm not 100% certain because I
changed a couple of other things while I was about it.

The other things are:

  setting ikiwiki to use git to track which files have changed, so that
  it doesn't need to scan the file system (only_committed_changes).

  setting it so that if ikiwiki.cgi ends up waiting for locks, it tells
  you to wait after 10 seconds, and starts retrying (cgi_overload_*)

hopefully the first will speed things up a little, and the latter do no
harm.

I also note that 'be' (the bug tracker) takes a couple of seconds at the
end of every site rebuild, which strikes me as a bit slow given the
lack of recent activity. Luke, are you actually using 'be' at present?

Cheers, Phil.
