Speed improvement by only using the recentchanges table
I'd like to see an option recentchanges=1 that would only check the recentchanges table. This would be helpful for simple lists like the latest pages of a certain namespace (not category) on high traffic pages like Main Page since the recentchanges table is very small. Most parameters would still work tho.
