If only the following page continued to be maintained, gaining insight into
which pages get most visits would be possible.

Webalizer snips the popular pages when it reaches a certain threshold.
AWStats does not do this, which means that for any given page, you can
easily check the number of visits. For large sites, however, opening of such
bloated pages is worth the investment and can be tolerated by the memory (or
disk swap). Yes, I'm an AWStats fan and I think it is under-rated by most; I
won't deny it. *smile*
