And, it's an interesting question to me... how many watchers DO articles generally have anyhow? ARE there articles with 600 watchers? 60? Am I diligently watching the same things as 100 others or are we distiburing our observation more evenly over the content of the site?

Well, a quick rule-of-thumb is that if we were to spread the 850,000 articles on en: out over the 600-or-so admins, that would make for 1400-or-so items to be added to each watchlist.
If the # of regular RC watchers is, say, 5x the number of admins, that would become a more reasonable 280.
