Hat tip to Daniel Gruno. Moin has this unfortunate habit of scanning
*every* registered user when saving a page. With 1.7M spam accounts ...
well, you can see the issue :-)

He moved moin to a box with SSDs for faster I/O and nuked all inactive
accounts. Win!

(moin has been hitting Infra with downtime, so this *also* helps us, in
addition to all moin users; just needed somebody/time to dig into the "why")
