Detailed Description

Readahead helper for making large MediaWiki data dumps; reads in a previous XML dump to sequentially prefetch text records already normalized and decompressed.

This can save load on the external database servers, hopefully.

Assumes that dumps will be recorded in the canonical order:

• ascending by page_id
• ascending by rev_id within each page
• text contents are immutable and should not change once recorded, so the previous dump is a reliable source
