A little while ago I ran into this problem... I like having a lot of statistics on my forum's homepage, but I don't like having a lot of queries on that page. That got me to start thinking of a better way to do it, hence the creation of this hack.
How does this hack work?
It's pretty simple really. Instead of counting every single thread, post, member and etc every time someone loads your forum, it only counts these after a specified amount of time and updates one table that the information will be pulled from. This hack is especially useful for high traffic sites and can reduce the time it takes to load your forum's homepage.

If you are an admin, it will show you the last time the stats were updated as well.
(Please note that some of these started as hacks from other members at vB.org. Most of them are so simple though I don't see much of a point in trying to figure out which one's I got from here X months ago. If your hack was included here and you would like credit given please post here and I will add it.)
Normally these stats would add 8 queries to your forum's homepage. With this hack installed it will only perform 1 query most of the time, and 9 queries when it needs to update the information. I have found this very useful to cut down on the number of queries on my homepage, decrease the page's loading time, and put less overall stress on my server.
Well that's about it. I hope some others will find this hack useful and if anyone has some suggestions for other stats they would like to include in the stats cache please let me know and I will try to implement them.

OK, what should we do if we have some or all of the old hacks your new hack is based on so we can truly save queries instead of adding 9 new to the 8 old ones?
If you have all (or some) of these stats installed already, you would pretty much just replace the coding for those stats with the new code for the stats cache. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out what to replace, but if you have problems with it let me know.
