How do you track page hits or click statistics?

[dangalist at centrum.cz]

I was thinking about some RAM based hits tracking due to speed instead of flatfile logs, even if they are fast 
and dont cause much load. I dont care about accuracy of tracking in this case, just wanted to do it distributed 
so I dont end up with two web servers for load balancing, counting stats to separate log files. ARCHIVE storage 
engine is especially done for lot of data storage, which is not this case, when I will just increase hits counter 
for each item.
