This is a huge waste of cpu time; I don't know why people do this.
Unless your content really needs to dynamic, don't generate it
dynamically! The exact same things can be accomplished with a
preprocessing tool that generates static html files from templates, so
that you only perform this process ONCE rather than thousands of times
for each visitor.
