I am still looking at other solutions of minimizing the database but none so far, feel free to research into it yourself.

It wouldn't make much difference to those who are constantly on the recent changes page, but it's akin to a "thanks" and a pat on the back to those who contribute more rarely, or have stopped doing so (e.g. Max/RaymondM, who did quite a bit early on).

Would lose about 10-20% of the changes but not enough. The point of it all is to ensure the database is manageable and reducing the risk of something to break (you know how scary those mysql queries are when you're dealing with big databases, though I can imagine muse board doing crazier stuff) That’s still not going to remove much of the bulk.

I was thinking about that a while back.... If not, perhaps a feature request is in order. Isn’t it possible to merge consecutive changes made by the same person?
