foreach ( $ids as $id ) {
printf( '<li><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a> – %3$s</li>', esc_url( get_edit_post_link( $id ) ), esc_html( get_the_title( $id ) ), esc_html( sprintf( '%d sales', edd_get_download_sales_stats( $id ) ) ) );

Uses the sales count EDD stores on each download, so the widget is fast even on large stores.
