 Replying to [comment:8 peterwilsoncc]:
 > On a fresh install with no collaborators, just opening Hello World in my
 browser resulted in 60 requests a minute totaling 110-120K. It's a lot of
 traffic for a feature that has limited use for a single author install.
 >
 > For sites with two collaborators in a post, based on the numbers above
 the server will receive 480 HTTP requests totaling about 900K per minute.
 For five or ten buck hosting that's a lot of traffic.

 Are there traffic statistics that would be acceptable? The timing
 constants are easily changed (and could be filterable).

 That said, and separate from our decision for 7.0, turning the feature off
 by default for single-user sites makes a lot of sense to me. Exploring
 "fallback" entrypoints (e.g., via the post lock modal) makes this a
 graceful degradation.
