What I've noticed (without exact measurements, just a loose observation) is accounts being created slightly more often coupled with lower activity overall. Can't tell much about readership activity or the quality rate of edits.

What I see in that respect is people making an account, making a small edit (typo correction, trivial addition, genuine update) and then not making any more edits. The type of thing anons would do. However, there's no telling how many people would've done it if anonymous editing were enabled.
