You missed my point here. Consider a script-generated page with 20
statically linked images and a static HTML page with 20 images retrieved
from a database. To be viewed in a browser the first page requires just
a single script call, while the second requires 20(!) script calls in
order to fetch all images from the DB.

But using SSI on all pages also wastes resources compared to plain
static files ...
