Thanks Francis. I've now added a section on fixing problems - I looked
around and knowing how to address a bad page seems to be totally
internalised knowledge, which is fine but rather harder to share than
stuff which is written down. So I've added a section 'fixing
performance problems' to the wiki page, with a small (for now) list of
the sorts of problems I've personally seen or had described to me.

I'd love it if *everytime* you fix an OOPS or improve a pages/scripts
performance you add a note if the strategy you used isn't already
documented. I'm sure the first few times we'll get lots of edits, but
there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of variation in the sorts of
problems we're seeing so far.
