Comment (by lucasbustamante):

 I think we can narrow down the purpose of this ticket to improve the
 "Dashboard Widget" only.


 The essential problem is that the "Dashboard Widget" was poorly
 implemented at the time because the Meta lacked the endpoints to provide
 only the data it needed, so it ended up fetching 700kb~ of information
 using the existing endpoints, instead of tweaking the Meta endpoints to
 allow to fetch only the necessary information.

 Given that this widget is enabled by default on all WordPress
 installations, I think it deserves more love and to be made more efficient
 - I think that narrowing the scope of this ticket to improve only that
 Widget, making sure it consumes and caches from an efficient endpoint,
 might be a good effort.
