I wasn’t suggesting that. Static files are cheaper on Akami. They are already hosting half their static content there.

  “Static” is the key word here, these are likely to change as bugs are filed and new features are added, no?

    That's not usually what "static" vs "dynamic" means in this context. Static just means it's already a file, and that gets delivered directly to the user's browser with no server-side substitutions or especially database lookups. There's some ambiguity there, but that's the basic idea. The alternative is pages that are created on-the-fly when requested, often by looking up a bunch of crap in a database, or the server running a bunch of code to compile together separate files. "static" sites absolutely change, it's just you usually have to deploy something when you change them, it's not just "a different person viewed this".
