I've always liked analog as web log analyzer. It's fast and you can make it
generate as much or as little as you want - but it would normally be a
once-a-day run, not a live update.

That may work for a small site. I wouldn't expect anything that locks a single
file for updates on every hit to scale well. And it means you need to have
somewhere that is writable by the web server which is not a great idea if you
can avoid it.
