I used to hate static

I remember when I groaned that a page was static… “No cool features” was what I said–probably a dozen times. After some thought and a ton of web traffic (various Slashdottings, and keynotes), I like static again. On a shared server you can serve a ton of content if nothing (or very little) needs processed. Even dedicated servers start bogging down at 40-50 hits a second when MySQL has to be queried a few times a page.
