by diligent wikipedians browing the list of 'recent changes', checking
an article and returning to the list by pressing the back button, thus
generating a new request to the database, over and over again. An
expensive request as well, in terms of database processing (I presume)
and html page size, up to 500 records might be sent.
That doesn't force a reload until 10 more pages are seen before returning to
Recent Changes.
