As I said, I'm not talking (at least now) about saving generated HTML
output. This I think is better solved in caching engine like Squid can
be. Although even here some git specific can be of help: we can invalidate
cache on push, and we know that some results doesn't ever change (well,
with exception of changing output of gitweb).

It depends on how creatively you think ;-)

Consider generating static HTML files on each push, via a hook, for many 
of the toplevel files.  The static HTML would then link to the CGI for 
further dynamic querying of the git database.

You mean that the links in this pre-generated HTML would be to CGI
pages?

Yes, they must be.  Otherwise, the gitweb interface changes.

You don't want to pre-generate HTML for every possible git query, that 
would cause an explosion of data.

Both the HTML generator and CGI would need to know which pages were 
pre-generated and which are not.
