no, it wouldn't. each page simply inserts page, id, and date into a
pageTracking table. perhaps you mis-read the longer script as being part of
the include of each page. it is not. it is a stand-alone page...it is the
report one would pull up in order to look at your site tracking information.
and yes, something similar is in production on at least two of my previous
client's sites who get copious volumes of traffic. even the report in
generated in nano-seconds. the only time i had a problem with the report is
when one of the client's wanted to resolve the ip addresses in the report to
their dns name for security reporting...they also wanted the dns contact
records as well. THAT didn't fly when considering timeouts and the number of
ip's being resolve...but without resolving the ip's, the report is very
fast. i did get a solution for that client though and he got what he wanted
out of the report. ;^)
