We like analog, Stephen Turner is a Cam.pm member, and makes regular
appearances at our social meets. I've looked at webalizer too, but webalizer
is appallingly written, keeps everything in globals (though I believe analog
also currently does this and Stephen said he'd like to change it), and uses
scary amounts of memory. It also doesn't have particularly good integrity
checking for its database dumps.

I don't have a running analog right this second, but I run
it on the following daily. I sure don't see the cpu usage
you see, but it does take a couple hours to finish. (Mostly
because analog doesn't hammer the dns server.)
