Well... we've already established that this would have to live in a separate table, since it would have to be MyISAM. The table doesn't need to be written to for each edit, only when a category is added/changed/deleted from a page, which must be a pretty small subset of edits (wild guess: 10%?), so maybe it's not that big a problem...?
Probably higher than that, to be honest, especially with all those Wikipedians running around, dealing with Special:Uncategorisedpages, and correcting stub templates and so forth.
