The MarkBLockedGlobal script currently does about 300 requests per page view of Steward Requests/Global on meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global> but it is also helpful on Special:Watchlist/Special:RecentChanges. I think 100-1000 requests is common, it can go over a 1000 in rare cases (though over 10000 would be unlikely). No idea what other request-heavy gadgets/user scripts exist.
