It might be worth asking on #moin, which I may do tomorrow.

Well, it can occasionally be useful to get at the statistics, so perhaps those 
pages could be protected with an ACL that only gives administrators the right 
to see them.

Again, I may ask on #moin to see if anybody knows about anything related to 
the edit-log or these performance issues generally.
