Hi all;
The counter page is generated every 5 minutes, using the last data
available in site_stats table for every wiki project. So, the editrate can
change every 5 minutes, I think that it is a good estimation.
Regards!

with plain old AJAX, though (you really don't want to make a
new request for every edit), but Java or Flash or something like that
ought to handle it fine.
I did something similar to this in JS alone:
<http://toolserver.org/~river/recentchanges/<http://toolserver.org/%7Eriver/recentchanges/>
It requires 1 request per second to update, but the backend is a C++
FastCGI and the database query is trivial, so the requests create no
noticeable load. I imagine it should be fairly simple to do something
similar for a plain number-of-edits counter. (You would only need to
return number of edits, rather than the edits themselves, so a little
less bandwidth would be used.)
