--- Comment #5 from Nathan Larson <[email protected]> ---
I doubt the impact of reparsing on performance would be all that major
(depending on what you consider major), since typically most users' edits
autopatrol anyway. The anons and newbies' edits have usually been a relatively
small proportion of the edits on the wikis I've seen. Comparing
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&letype=patrol&lelimit=500
to
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&rctype=edit&rclimit=500
, if you let the following variables be thus:
*A: Timestamp of most recent patrol event
*B: Timestamp of 500th most recent patrol event
*C: Timestamp of most recent edit
*D: Timestamp of 500th most recent edit

A - B = E
C - D = F

E / F ~ 16. So in other words, patrol activity is about 1/16th as heavy as
editing activity. Hmm, would that be a dealbreaker for WMF to do that much
reparsing?
