This may not be the cleanest solution, but here goes. It's a sort of
'web-bug' approach.
You could have an action in your controller (or a separate controller
dedicated to statistics) which will do the counting for you, and then
invoke it with an <img> tag in the view.
So for example, you can have
/articles/addviewcount/<article_id>
which would echo the contents of an empty gif image.
And then in the view, you can put something like
<img src="/articles/addviewcount/1234" width="1" height="1">
That way, the addviewcount action will be called, regardless if the
view was cached or not.
Just remember to turn off view caching for the addviewcount action.
