title: Is there a faster alternative to Google Analytics?
body: <p>I like to keep my websites extremely light and fast, but of course I need some kind of user tracking and analytics. </p>
  
  <p>It seems like Google Analytics always takes significant enough processing time that I'd like to replace it with something faster (and/or hosted locally), perhaps having less features. </p>
  
  <p>I really only care about these metrics: browser, OS, referrer, and # hits per page on a given day or week. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any good suggestions, or is Google Analytics really the best option?</p>
