I'm not sure I get it quite right, but it seems to me that your server and database will do the same amount of work either which way, just at a different time in the page load. And if this is the case, then perhaps caching stats? Writing to a file? sessions and then session dumping after?
I dunno... just seems like having javascript do stuff when they close their browser will result in a LOT of lost data and won't save much if anything on serve load.
