It would be useful to collect and report statistics about vandalism and edit wars. I have 16,000 articles on my watchlist (too many, I know!) and vandals touch maybe five of those per day, with most of the edits occurring on topics familiar to the general public (Julius Caesar, Steve Jobs, RMS Titanic, etc).
As you point out, it really depends on the articles on your watchlist. I have about 1,000 on my watchlist, and the other night I was dealing with one vandalism per minute, even after pages were protected (after protection they went after the Talk: pages instead).
