> Wikipedia develops at a rate of over 1.9 edits per second, performed by editors from all over the world. Currently, the English Wikipedia includes 6,167,378 articles and it averages 598 new articles per day.

Doesn't seem to be much, to be honest.

Note: edits sometimes affect multiple pages (in extreme cases, edits can affect millions of pages. The lua script (which is a wiki page editable like any other) Module:arguments is used on over 25 million pages).

There generally is a bit of a long tail effect. Popular pages get edited a lot, but they also get viewed a lot. It can be expensive when everyone is viewing and editing the same page (Micheal Jackson's death is a famous example that caused downtime, although changes were made to make things more robust so it wouldn't happen again)
