I may be wrong... but I simply took the number of the most recent revision at 20 min intervals, and made the ratio... also note that 5 edits / sec is 400,000 new revisions per day; I am not sure, but the English Wikipedia is at about 50M revisions last time I checked, so that would be 120 days of such growth...
Does anyone know the numbers?

IIRC, the rate is far far higher than that. Perhaps ask a syadmin how many edits/sec (or are db transactions more relevant?) we're looking at currently. 5 edit/s seems low to me. But maybe I have been dazzled by numbers such as ">80000 SQL queries per sec" (from http://dammit.lt/tech/velocity-wikipedia-domas-2008.pdf; probably all WMF, not enwiki) etc O.o
