Comment (by lucasbustamante):

 It's also worth nothing that the developer that implemented the "Dashboard
 Widget" probably took the conscious decision of using the existing RSS
 feed, knowing it would only need a small fraction of the data, to make one
 request and cache the data for both the "Dashboard Widget" and the "RSS
 Widget/Block".

 However, given that the "RSS Widget/Block" is rarely used, this
 optimization brings way more harm than benefits, since it has to fetch the
 huge feed on every request. In that sense, the "Dashboard Widget" should
 have it's own transient, to store only the information it needs.
