The CPU cycles used to generate all the HTML pages (even those wich are
not consulted) is rather important and was a major complaint of DSA
when I initially setup it on a debian.org host. I had to implement various
half-baked mechanisms to not regenerate pages when the underlying data
has not changed.
Now we'll use more modern tools that can cache stuff in a more granular
way and generate the content on the demand. I don't expect it to be much
more heavy... and if anything the load will be more balanced instead of
having big burst every 6 hours.
