Do we have any processes that simply aren't working when limited to 6/min; 360/hr; 8640edits/day?
Not working, no. But we have many bots who could accomplish leagues more if they could edit faster. For example, my bot, which is migrating userboxes out of the template namespace into user space and fixing the transclusions works almost 24/7 (whenever I have access to a computer), and literally has hundreds of thousands of edits to make. Editing at over 6/min could allow it to accomplish a whole lot more than it does now.
That strikes me as useful, but not urgent. I think the current limit makes sense for such bots (or bot tasks). For urgent ones, perhaps there could be an exception.
