What you will need to add also is the ability to add "actions" that can be
captured. If you are using any type of state maintenance, be it session
variables or roll-your-own database solutions, your URL may never hold all
of the information needed to determine what the user is really doing. Our
version of this that we are designing right now has the "page hit"
functionality to it to review clickstream, browser, operating system,
referers, etc., but will also have "actions" that the user takes. These are
what we are really looking for . . . and we don't want to have to look
through their clickstream to see if they did it. An example is a
configurator . . . with "actions" you can grab how many people started the
configurator and how many people actually finished a configuration. If the
ratio isn't high enough, then start reviewing the clickstream.
Great idea Steve . . . it's nice to have someone like yourself validate that
we aren't on a lonely path!

I'm pretty sure, you still wouldn't have to wait....
Every hit is thrown into an application query, that application query is
dumped to a file, which is then bulk inserted into the database every X
minutes. Then to view the stats for that page it's just a matter of
running the appropriate query.
Sure, it may be a little slow for that many hits, but that all depends
on the database you're using. I'd be very interested to see how well it
does work for this many hits.... i honestly have no idea.
btw, I built it so you could drill down to view stats, it starts out by
listing hits/month, then you choose a month, it shows hits per/day in
that month, then you click a day and it shows hits/hour in that day.
