@verius Depends entirely on how many people are accessing the instance via the API, really, but it would at the least be a good thing to allow optionally since it would relieve stress on the MySQL server when you have API-hungry apps.  One thing I've noticed is it doesn't take many API clients before MySQL starts to have a bad time with the current API, because it HAMMERS the database.  One query for a timeline can easily be over a hundred queries in some cases.
