Comment (by nacin):

 I've confirmed that the systems team has been cognizant of this for some
 time. (Years, even.) The short-term goal is to keep throwing hardware at
 the problem and to see what can be done to squeeze out performance.

 The longer term goal (maybe 2013, maybe longer) is to start splitting up
 this behemoth repository in some way. (Git has been mentioned, but is by
 no means a magic bullet here. The upgrade and mirroring process would be a
 lot of work and fairly painful.) There are no concerete plans right now,
 and few have the bandwidth at the moment (babies, health, weddings, 3.6,
 other projects, and such), but it is something that we can/should at least
 draw up plans for later this year.
