For what it's worth, several of the public xwikis I hosted have huge spam issues and the number of users will be fed by that... Sometimes I have rages and manage to fight against them, but for the platforms it went over 500, I abandoned.... Maybe counting the number of users who have create more than pages is a lot more expressive?
I do not find it very convincing to state that access stats cost an amount because they need to be written to the DB. Such analytics should have a way to be streamlined into memory and only written to disk once in a while (even... once every five minutes). Of course, this means there may be some stats loss, but that is ok, crashes are not to be entirely cared for.
