Topic on Talk:XTools

According to the list of editors by highest edit counts, there are less than 50 editors above the 400k edits threshold, yet it would not surprise me if these were among the most searched in your tools. I was wondering whether since there are so few, it would be possible for the edits/pages created for those users to be calculated infrequently (e.g. once a month) and then have that monthly snapshot be served to those searching for them, rather than just a message saying the editor has >400k edits?

Just a suggestion, thank you for creating/maintaining these tools.

Everything is computed on-demand, so this wouldn't be an option. Ideally we would simply limit processing to just 400,000 edits (phab:T182182); the issue there is we likely only care about the most recent 400,000 edits, and that is what makes the query so slow. I think going by time frame would be more doable, say the past year. The problem with that is someone could make a million edits in that year alone. So we need some very specialized logic...

I figured my suggestion wouldn't be feasible somehow. I agree that doing things by time frame would be ideal, hopefully it becomes possible in the future.
