If  some  particular set of pages takes the majority of the  load**,  then
consider  creating  a static page and redirecting to it all requests  from
the dynamically-generated URL. You will of course lose plenty by doing so,
but  if the load is very high on that page (e.g. thousands of requests per
day), this can make all the difference in the world.

Hope it helps,

Roy

(**)   Often   the  case  with  pages  offering  software,  bound  to   an
almost-endless trail of comments.
