Viewing recent changes with debug logging on shows loads of queries like:
[queries] wiki: SELECT /* Linker::getRollbackEditCount Admin */ rev_user_text,rev_deleted FROM `revision` FORCE INDEX (page_timestamp) WHERE rev_page = '106' ORDER BY rev_timestamp DESC LIMIT 11
These should use some sort of batching. I guess it would have to use subqueries though. Another option would be to cache it and use getMulti() since the query is just getting the last 11 revs of a page (see T122546).
