Hi Olorin,
I've ended up ditching the Blockies module for displaying pphlogger stats in favour of the module you posted. There is without doubt a significant performance increase, a good 30~40% faster site loading times using my works internet connection. What used to be around 35~40 seconds using Blockies is now 20~25 seconds with the module you posted. I think this has to do with the fact the blockies module uses javascript for fetching the pphlogger stats which is by the authors own admission is quite slow, whereas the module you posted uses PHP.
I also really like the look of the PHP-Stats stats module you posted as it has the same display format as the Lykos blocks which I use for displaying site stats. I do like the features, look and feel of PHP-Stats over the top of pphlogger and will be looking for the possiblity of migrating over. Still, I think pphlogger is very good, especially as it's free. All I need now is someway to convert pphlogger data to PHP-Stats.
Once again, Thanks for your post Olorin. The pphlogger and PHP-Stats counters posted by Olorin can be viewed on one of my sites at www.brashquido.org
