Ok here's my take on it.
First off if your stats program is overloading your machine ... time for an upgrade? Or possibly even a clean out. Soooo many people have log files and stuff on thier servers that should be removed.
root mailbox for example. Does anybody really check the root mail? NO Well some do. I have root mail emailed to me all the time because it holds useful information like hack attempts.
800meg log files will run a lot of resources on the machine regardless of what stats program you use.
Everybody has different traffic and you really need a server admin to figure out whats the best stats for you and how often it should run depending on YOUR server and traffic.
Asking on this board is going to get you opinions based on everybody elses traffic and server.
If your with a hosting company that provides good support ask them the best way to deal with this problem and what they recommend.
If not hit me up I'll give you prices and options on whats best but only after I can completely diagnose the issues.
