For load you should use 'nice' in the crontab entry for it. Plus you can specify when it runs obviously.
It does leave a little to be desired with the reporting, I agree. But for someone who just needs basic numbers it does the trick.
It would be cool to see more plugins for awstats so it can remain light (it runs batched and generates static pages) while fixing some of its stat reporting shortcomings. For example projections would be cool as would better hourly or weekly stats where reports are ran frequently enough.
