I'm only really speculating here, but I could imagine a Web server serving a 
static file to be a "fast path" that doesn't demand significantly more 
resources suddenly, whereas even MoinMoin reaching into its cache and 
producing cached pages could cause some kind of resource contention on an 
overloaded physical machine.

I guess external measurements might identify some problems. If the Web site 
were visited more frequently, maybe the data being served up would be more 
likely to be resident in disk caches or RAM and would therefore get served 
more quickly. But the definitive knowledge of how frequently the site gets 
visited is in the server logs, so we'd still need server-resident information.

Anyway, I'm not sure I have much more to say on the topic. I'm sure Sam has 
the matter under control.
