It strikes me that some of our nice "extra" features, like Most Wanted, are slow and could also be just as useful (or nearly so) if they were not generated 'realtime', but rather if they were generated only once per day.
"Most Wanted" is already cached when invoked, and the cache is used in "miser mode". That works good for Most Wanted, as the order of articles doesn't change very fast, and created articles are clearly visible.
This will work less well on other "extra" features like "Orphaned Pages". If one de-orphaned a page, it will still show on the cached version.
