Good suggestion, but your idea would probably not save quite as much 
time as you might think.

StatCVS spends most CPU time generating the images. Most images are 
timelines, and those should be regenerated as often as possible so that 
they all show the same date range, up to the day of report generation.

Working with partial logs would cut down on bandwith usage though, 
which also is a bottleneck in some cases.

So if anybody wants to take this up ...
