-- SUMMARY --

The Background Statistics module provides a system to register how many times 
a node has been accessed, without accessing the database, to lower its load.

This module keeps track of accesses in a file ; and a cronjob aggregates
data from this file to the database.

The file is not written to by the page served by Drupal, but via a second,
distinct, HTTP query to a specific PHP script -- which means consultations
will be recorded even for pages served from a cache (be it Drupal's cache, or
even a reverse-proxy along the way).
