Comment:

 The plan is now to remove the revisions meta box, plugins can easily add
 similar functionality (see plugin  linked in #25123). The revisions page
 itself can likely use some optimization (especially with many/large
 revisions. In any case, there is no reason to burden the post editing
 page!

 Even setting the publish meta box ''X Revisions count''
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1/src/wp-admin/edit-form-
 advanced.php#L153) gets''' all revisions''' and can be costly: that should
 get fixed as well (i tried fields=> ids to no avail).

 The version upgrade check, this call should only be loading in one
 revision: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1/src/wp-
 admin/includes/post.php#L210
