I'm a fan of static files, since we're frequently hammered when new releases come out, etc.
Well, i belive that PHP does not use as much resources as you think... We could also:
- disable the random screenshot on new releases (takes some time to load)
Fwiw, I suspect the random screenshot could be done using javascript.
- make the front-site static on releases (but i dont think this helps a lot)
but anyway, the big traffic might be the downloads...!?! try to move all the builds to other servers on the next release... this might give a less homeopathic effect than switching to static pages...
Actually, the downloads are already moved off onto mirrors.
