Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:9 annezazu]:
 > In the same way default dashboard widgets, like site health status, can
 be controlled by screen options, this can also be something that can be
 turned on/off.

 Regarding the query performance concern, it seems the issue is that the
 screen options checkboxes just hide/show the dashboard widget.  Ideally
 unchecking a screen options checkbox would omit the widget from being
 rendered in the first place. This would require a page reload to see the
 changes.

 That said, I don't think the additional query would be so expensive so I
 don't think that should be a blocker for adding this. The widgets could
 also be removed programmatically which would prevent them from being
 rendered or appearing in the screen options checkboxes for sites that are
 particularly concerned about this. But for scaling up the dashboard to
 have many more widgets, we should keep an eye on how we can do so
 performantly.
