There's been some discussion on a development mailing list regarding the namespace selector in contributions pages, which is expensive due to our schema arrangement. [...] What is the point of per-namespace contribution feature on live site? What are the applications of it?
What is the point in that question? If it is so database-intensive that it needs to be taken down, then surely it should be taken down even if it is useful. Conversely, if it is not database-intensive enough to be a real problem, then surely it doesn't hurt to have it even if it isn't useful.
Besides, it appears that few people have found a really good use for it; it can therefore be assumed that it will not be used very frequently, and therefore it will likely not have much database impact after all. :)
