 * isn’t this database intensive? does it check which plugins are active on which
   blog every time you access the plugin page or does it cache the info for some
   time?

 * There’s no caching currently, but that’s a great idea and I’ve added it to my
   to-do list. 🙂
 * If you have a really large network this could be quite intensive since it needs
   to query each blog for the list of active plugins, but it only runs on two network
   admin pages so I expect the impact to be limited.
 * The Sites list page runs a more efficient query than the Plugins list page so
   if there’s a drastic slowdown I’d turn off the column on the Plugins page.
 * I’ve tested it up to 50 plugins and 50 sites and it ran smoothly, but if you 
   have significantly more sites than 50 I honestly haven’t tried under those conditions
   and your feedback would be great.

 * Hi Ovidiu,
 * I’ve added the results of the more intensive queries to the transient cache, 
   I hope this addresses your concerns. 🙂

 * We just installed in our network of 400 custom sites and 140 plugins and it seems
   to be working great so far.
 * Thanks!
