Nothing beats the speed, my stats server (seperate) counts millions of hits a day with an average serverload of 21 - 23 %.
Every hit gets stored in a SQLite DB, storing 92 fields / hit.
BTW, did you like the benchmark link ?

Yeah, cool link, I'd love to see the speed change if you use Zend Accelerator though in terms of PHP.
And yes, like I said in my reply to aiken, very few things need C, but big stats systems definately do. We had 80 million hits a day, server load at 70% (dual system), collecting over 100 static fields and path, referrer, multi page, browser and os dynamic data. dynamic as in, they were not just count-increases, its shit that had to be sorted and so on and searched for to add up.
