[Soks] Some counter thoughts

Hello,

I've been playing with the new counter stuff
you have in CVS at the moment.  Random comments
follow.

>From watching all the activity in the logs, I
got scared and changed the update frequencies
from :min -> :hour

Popular Pages was 1.5MB after only a couple days.
After a restart this morning to grab the new Prolific
Viewer counter changes, Ruby pegged the CPU and kept
oscillating between 80MB and 180MB.  (I killed it,
manually removed the Popular Pages files, and it
restarted fine.)

Some of our page names are really long, and thus, the
Popular Pages table renders poorly (and probably
because I have some old hacked-up CSS and views, it
overwrites the sidebar menu).  It might be better to
clip the title after some number of characters?
(The same idea might also be applied to the "links
to this page" section of the menu bar?)

Because crawlers hit our site every night, it would
be nice to have the option to only show the top X entries
worth of counter data.

Page-visit counter on individual pages?  (maybe just
the home page?)

Have counters indicate when they started, i.e., page
visits since [some start date].

Later,
