 we could add a check for large sites before running the update, but i
 agree my patch renders caching useless. still the current behavior is
 confusing to novice users, and for small networks without frequent
 user/site creation i think the caching is superfluous.

 would you accept a patch that, instead of recalculating the entire count,
 simply pulled and updated the current count - incremented/decremented
 based on the current action? no query would be required, just the option
 updated. same locations as my existing changes i believe.

 caching is great, but in this case its confusing the end user. it almost
 sounds like you are saying the ticket itself should be thrown out, that
 the current behavior is fine as is.

 do you agree with the ticket idea that the widget should show the live
 count, or do you think the caching is more important and things should
 stay as they are? could we use wp_is_large_network() to split up the
 cases?
