Not being even vaguely involved in the server management / performance side of things, how much of a hit are we talking about? How much additional resources do the various admin pages full of {{vandal|}} and {{user|}} impose?
I'm not either. But that never stops me. The thing about signatures, is they're used on thousands of pages. If every user's signature is transcluded, that's hundreds of thousands of extra transclusions. It would be great if that wasn't a major problem, but I suspect it is.
In terms of parsing the proposed %T% %C% etc variables, are there other variables being run in-line which would serve as a performance comparison as well, for that approach?
I don't understand the question. "Variables being run in-line"?
