I do not want to be unkind, but concept with opt-in using
special
subpages is drastically stupid. Please change your mind before we have 100 000 opt in pages
on 700 projects.

It doesn't look that bad to me, and you can check your option with a single click on subpage (but sure, it'd look much better if SUL is created, with one opt-in subpage for all projects)
Putting it on main userpage/talk page doesn't look advantageous to me : -bigger page to parse -opt-in informations lost in the middle of other things
I suppose the subpage is read (from the TS DB) every time the editcount is called, so with user pages weighting many k's it could become a signifiant strain.

So cache opt-in info.

As far as I know, there is no access to the page texts in database, you have to get it via http (or WikiProxy/River's thingy, which still is slow). So it wouldn't work as expected.
I propose to do this in Interiot's way, by commenting edits in talkpage (or, maybe, userpage too, since some users may archive their talkpages pages by moving them). You type something like '[[:tswiki:smth|Editcounter opt-in]]: graph1:yes, graph2:no, ...etc', and you may repeat it (change options) at any time. Then you can get the latest opt-in comment by one SQL query.
