What is the point of per-namespace contribution feature on live site?
What are the applications of it?
What is the point in that question? If it is so database-intensive that
it needs to be taken down, then surely it should be taken down even if
it is useful. Conversely, if it is not database-intensive enough to be a
real problem, then surely it doesn't hurt to have it even if it isn't
useful.
Besides, it appears that few people have found a really good use for it;
it can therefore be assumed that it will not be used very frequently,
and therefore it will likely not have much database impact after all. :)
