Hello, what is the purpose of limiting the history size or displaying its quota in the history pane? I've just tested it with 40 000 words and haven't noticed any issues with usability or speed. How about setting the history size to 9999 by default and then hiding the information about its limit from the history pane? I think the history limit is something the user sets once in his lifetime to a value higher than he would ever need, and then he doesn't touch it anymore.

There are cases when too much data could slow GoldenDict down, esp. on low-level PCs. Things like import/export and saving the history. So we're playing on the safe side and just don't allow to create huge histories. Having a really big history doesn't make much sense anyways since we don't provide convenient way of working with so much data.

As for the stats, personally, I find them amusing :)
