Hi,
is the statistics user-dependent?
If not, just create a cron job (or similar, depending on your
platform) that will calculate the statistics every hour and maybe even
create the main blocks of the page to be displayed.
You can either create a custom management command to do this or
write a script that uses ORM (and templating system) and Django cache.
It very much depends on you setup, but should not be too difficult.
Basically, you probably don't need a "view" to populate the cache.
