Hi Paul,

Perusing the available logs (covers October 1 through November 17),
a rough usage estimate is as follows:

   Number of CGI requests    :  378338
   Total number of GET lines : 3314288
   Ratio: 11.4%

Of course, it takes a lot more cycles to process CGI requests than
simple GET requests.

Here's a rough breakdown of the most popular CGI scripts called:

   search           : 178881 
   cvsweb           : 136798
   mirror           : 41566
   query-pr         : 17523
   query-pr-summary : 2789
   ---------------------------------
   total            : 377557 (99.7%)

Of the search.cgi requests, 10% were WWW searches (source=www), 
while the rest were for the mail-archives.

So, I think it's reasonable to say that just moving the static hits 
to spatter is a good start, then we can work to move search.cgi and 
mirror.cgi over, then ponder about the rest.

What do you think ? Looks like spatter is already mirroring free-
fall.
