Could the WatchList page be limited to a number of days like RecentChanges? Mine is getting rather long & it takes a while to generate. Maybe a truncated WatchList page could give a link to a complete watchlist which would be displayed as a dumb list with no dates & times of edits (which I presume is what causes the load on the server)
At the risk of being slightly sarcastic, wouldn't a better solution be to edit your own WatchList to remove things that you no longer really need to watch?
No, I want a long Watchlist too, and I agree with Tarquin. I want to know if *any* of these pages is edited, however minorly, but I don't want to wait for them to load on the special page. For my money, adopting the format of other special pages, listing only the past 3 days or the past 30 edits by default, will be quite sufficient; no need for new formats like dumb lists.
