The tricky one is consolidating multiple edits to a

This is a big performance hit. Perhaps a later
redesign of the
database would make it more reasonable, or perhaps a
new
implementation will come to mind that cures the
problem, but for now
I just don't want to burden the server with extra
work for what is,
to me, a cosmetic change that doesn't add
functionality.
It's not a cosmetic change for me. Having the changes
on the same article consolidated makes Recent Changes
usable. The current setup makes it impossible for me
to quickly scan the page for changes I might be
interested in; my eyes trip over the seventeen changes
in a row made to one particular article.
