A user's karma is recalculated, from scratch, every single time it is updated. So, for things like mailing lists which don't have easily accessible APIs for determining total counts for a particular user, this can take a long time.

No, it's not scalable; and yes, it's only going to get worse as the number of people increase. And no, unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to get re-engineered :-(
