To get a handle on whether and how much the New Filters are slowing down Watchlist and Recent Changes, we will make tests and publish them to a wiki page.
=Testing Plan
Results will be the average of 5 page loads
All tests to be performed
# for Recent Changes and Watchlist both
# with cold cache versus hot cache both
# On English Wikipedia (which, as the biggest, should show up any differences the most)
===Test on old and new UX for comparison
- Default filter sets (see below).
- Default filter sets + "Learners", "Experienced users", ":User talk" and "#Blanking" (intended to see if adding more standard filters makes a difference).
===Test new UX only
- "Typical" ORES filter set" (see below)
- "Rare" (slower) ORES filter set" (see below)
=Results table example
To clarify the various tests involved, I prepared [[ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-CfFpxu5FZmACeGFGPlpHeC1EV3LlnOZBFMnIia2IOU/edit?usp=sharing | a results table that can be a model for how the results might be published. ]]

=Current Default Settings
The following are the pre-New Filters default preferences for RC and WL. The preferences here are described as they will be implemented __in the New Filters UX,__ except for those that do not exist in the new UX and will continue to be presented on the Preferences page.
====Recent Changes
- 7 days, 50 results.
- Active filters = Logged edits, page creations, page edits, human (not bot)
====Watchlist ( existing defaults)
- 3 days, 250 maximum results
- Active filters: Latest revision, Logged edits, page creations, page edits. [Note: unlike RC page, “Human (not bot)” is NOT a default]
- Active WL pref page options: "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist", "Add new files I upload to my watchlist"
