instead of doing it in realtime (would which kill your performance), why
not do it at night? Parse through the Apache log, compile a list of how
much each article counter needs to be incremented, connect to MySQL...
and do it. :)
Because I don't care about the counters, and I'm still way behind schedule
on things I think are important, like better caching and setting up
additional languages on the new system, so I haven't gotten to it; and no
one else has done it either.
Here's what a line of the wiki's logfile looks like:
20030326195656 0000.175 /wiki/Styx
timestamp response time path
Parsing is left as an exercise to the reader... :)
