Are you planning on removing inspect entirely?

I didn't spot this work before I started on datasette-geo, but ironically I think it has a use case which really needs the inspect functionality (or some replacement).

Datasette-geo uses it to store the bounding box of all the geographic features in the table. This is needed when rendering the map because it avoids having to send loads of tile requests for areas which are empty.

Even with relatively small datasets, calculating the bounding box seems to take around 5 seconds, so I don't think it's really feasible to do this on page load.

One possible fix would be to do this on startup, and then in a thread which watches the database for changes.
