That's exactly what I meant. Forums and sites like mine rely a lot on calculating static content to prepare all the pages. My site takes about 20 seconds just to calculate and parse the 400 profile pages and the thousands of other pages on the site. If it were to do this each and every time the .py source is parsed, my website would suffer tremendously. @_@
