Changing the time it starts isn't going to do you much
good in the long run - I won't go into long details,
as it's been covered in this list quite a few times,
but the anaolg .cache and .stats files for each site
can get HUGE and seriously effect the daily stats
jobs. For our raq4s, we run a cron job every month
that removes them. It can literally make the
difference beterrn stats that complete within an hour,
and ones that could go on for 4 hours or more.

search these archives, the script for trimming the
cache files is in here. From memory, it is something
like:

#!/bin/sh
#clear out analog caches

rm /home/sites/site*/logs/ftp.cache*
rm /home/sites/site*/logs/ftp.stats
rm /home/sites/site*/logs/mail.cache*
rm /home/sites/site*/logs/mail.stats
rm /home/sites/site*/logs/web.cache*
rm /home/sites/site*/logs/web.stats
rm /home/sites/home/logs/ftp.cache*
rm /home/sites/home/logs/ftp.stats
rm /home/sites/home/logs/mail.cache*
rm /home/sites/home/logs/mail.stats
rm /home/sites/home/logs/web.cache*
rm /home/sites/home/logs/web.stats
rm /home/.cobalt/report/ftp.cache*
rm /home/.cobalt/report/ftp.stats
rm /home/.cobalt/report/mail.cache*
rm /home/.cobalt/report/mail.stats
rm /home/.cobalt/report/web.cache*
rm /home/.cobalt/report/web.stats

a word of warning - this will clear out the statistics
completely for the raqs built-in stats. If I remember
correctly, webalizer is OK as it keep its own files.
