The static refers to this: the pile of data is processed when
you assemble it, not when a viewer asks for it.

When you make a change -- editing a page, adding a page,
deleting one, changing some feature -- you commit the change and
the generator does its work again. This tyically takes between
0.1 and 10 seconds. Then everything is static again.
