It of course depends on how frequently the data is needed as well. If the data is being requested a lot more frequently than the data is updated, doing a static page that is updated outside the http request is the faster way to do things. If the page is requested less frequently or barely more frequently than the page's data is updated, doing a static page doesn't help much. This is also true if the page is different for different users (prime examples of course are Slashdot's homepage vs. its story pages).
