"Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage."

I liked this one. Let's all go back to static pages. Who needs dynamic content anyway. ;)

You can still use PHP but you generate parts or everything ahead of time and read static HTML from cache.

You can use a PHP CMS to spit out cached static versions of the home page. There is often no need for a page to be running PHP every call just because other parts of the site use PHP, it's bad design for high loads.

Also, you can use templating and then cache the dynamic sub-templates so that your page is only being changed when actual data changes rather than having to hit the database every single refresh, when the actual text only ever changes once a month.
