  Creation of "hundreds of static .html files" seems like a prehistoric
thing to do. Would it be too complicated to create a few xml files with
the statistics data (or maybe insert it in a database) and then generate
the html dinamically (to avoid too much intensive db access, these could
be cached upon generation to avoid duplication). The flow would be like
this:

  -process generates data (xml or sql)
  -user accesses a page first time (eg. /gnome-2.12/es/desktop/)
    -php generates the page from data and stores it in a temp dir
  -other user visits the same page
    -it gets shown from the temp dir (no duplicate generation, no db
overhead)
  -temp dir gets erased every time the process runs

  Questions:
  -Pages that are never visited never get generated, is this a pro or a
con?
  -Is this really less cpu intensive? I don't know if the sum of cpu
time for all the pages that are visited (for the first time) is less
than what we have now.

  Anyway, it's just an idea, I would volunteer to help with this if
possible.

  Cheers,
  Lucas
