Hi all;
The counter page is generated every 5 minutes, using the last data available in site_stats table for every wiki project. So, the editrate can change every 5 minutes, I think that it is a good estimation.

You should document it a little. Just a link there to a page saying that. I think this is not the first time this discussion arises. Technical people will start wondering when seeing a javascript counter.
