crazy optimisation to work around slow markdown
Markdown is slow. Especially if it has to process an enormous page. The most common enormous page is currently the recentchanges page, which gets processed a lot, and contains very little actual markdown. Most of it is a big <div>, which markdown skips ... slowly. This is a rather sick optimisation to work around markdown's speed issues. Now inline inserts a small, dummy div, allows markdown to quickly render the actual page content, then replaces the dummy with the actual inlined pages later. Results: Rendering just a recentchanges page, with diffs included, dropped from 4.5 seconds to 2.7 seconds on my laptop. Building the entire wiki dropped from 46.6 seconds to 39.5 seconds. (It would be better if inline were a *post*-processor directive.)
