The vast majority of the admin actions of which you speak are
anti-vandalism ones.  We need the majority of existing admins as
admins not because we need that many to do the load, but because
better decisions get made the more admins there are and the more time
an admin has to fix a problem.

Looking purely at numbers ignores the fact that some admin actions are
made with little thought, while some require complex decision-making.

IMO, a good number of of the '100 most active admins' are those most
likely to burn out.

In fact, in some respects, the concentration of admin actions is a
PROBLEM; IMO, it shows that too many admin actions are being done too
quickly.
