I ran a test on the local installation of Analog 5.32 that I have on my Windows XP machine to see what the CPU load would be.
The test setup is comprised of accessing 92 apache log files spread across three directories (one for each month). My PC is a 2.4GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM with two Seagate Barracuda 80GB IDE drives (7200rpm).
There are a total of 34,495,085 counted by Analog, which took 5 mins 9 secs to create the report. I would imagine that the time it took would depend greatly on the number of reports that you run; I have it generating 20 reports into a single output file.
While it was running, the CPU usage varied between 40-69%, but would drop to 0-4% from time to time. At no time does this noticeably drag on my system, while I'm running Mozilla with several tabs open, a web editor, an E-Mail program, and Photoshop, with maybe an FTP program from time to time.
There may be ways to tweak Analog so that it takes less CPU time or less memory, probably in exchange for slower report times.
It's incredibly flexible in what it can do and it's free, so that's hard to beat. The only knock is that it doesn't produce the super-pretty results that many management types like to look at.
If you try Urchin, please let me know what you think of it!

Daryl,
I am using Awstats log analyzer and I like it very much. It is written in perl, tells me everything I want to know, and it is free. Here us the link to where you can get it: Awstats I stay right on the bleeding edge of this, running his betas, and I have never found a major bug.
If you are interested in seeing live stats, email me and I will send you a link or two - I use basic auth one one of my sites, but I have 2 that are unprotected - I'm just not comfortable posting the information here.
